RE: The tariff classification of button covers from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Cali:
In your letter dated June 23, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of a set of button covers which
consists of one each of five different styles. The button covers
are identified as style, #C005, #C015, C013, #A45, and #C048.
They are made of plastic and brass. You state that they are in
chief weight and chief value of a plastic called acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (ABS). The decorative face of each button
cover is entirely of the plastic material.
The applicable subheading for the button covers will be
9606.21.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for buttons, of plastic, not covered with
textile material, other. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent 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
