RE: The tariff classification of a watch bracelet part from Hong
Kong.
Dear Mr. Dinstman:
In your letter of April 2, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on a part of a watch bracelet.
The submitted sample, Exhibit "A", is an unfinished part of
a watch bracelet known in the trade as a "stick." The stick is
made of a base metal and valued at 31 cents. The watch bracelet,
when finished, is valued at 95 cents.
The applicable subheading for the unfinished part of a watch
bracelet will be 9113.20.60, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for Watch straps, watch bands
and watch bracelets, and parts thereof: of base metal, whether or
not gold- or silver-plated: Parts: Of watch bracelets, valued not
over $12 per dozen. The rate of duty will be 11% ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
