RE: The tariff classification of scissors from Korea
Dear Ms. Carter :
In your letter dated May 3, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The article to be imported is a pair of scissors made of plastic
with notched metal cutting edges. They are 6 1/2 inches in overall
length and have finger ring handles. They are valued at $0.95
each.
The applicable subheading for the scissors will be
8213.00.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for scissors, tailors' shears and similar
shears, and blades and other base metal parts thereof... valued
over $1.75 per dozen... other. The rate of duty will be 10 cents
each plus 10 percent.
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
