RE: The tariff classification of decorative disks from Haiti
Dear Ms. Appleton:
In your letter dated July 13, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise is ID no. MTM28, Tropical Magnet. This item, in its
imported condition, is a decorative disk which will be attached to a magnet
after importation into the United States.
The applicable subheading for the disk will be 8306.29.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for statuettes and
other ornaments of base metal. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad
valorem.
The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) expired at midnight July
4, 1993. There is the possibility that legislation will be enacted that
will renew GSP retroactively to its date of expiration. In the event that
this occurs, articles classifiable under subheading 8306.29.0000, HTS,
which are products of Haiti, would be entitled to duty free treatment under
GSP upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
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
Area Director
