RE: The tariff classification of unassembled clocks from Germany.
Dear Mr. Davis:
In your letter of August 30, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on unassembled clocks.
The merchandise at issue will be unassembled wall clocks consisting of
equal amounts of clock movements, clock cases, clock bezels, clock crystals
and clock hands. The clock faces will be manufactured in the U. S. where
final assembly will be performed.
The applicable subheading for the unassembled wall clocks will be
9105.21.80, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for Wall clocks: Battery or AC powered: Other. The rate of duty
will be 30 cents each plus 6.9% on the case and 5.3% on the battery. You
have indicated to us that you will not be importing the batteries, therefore,
the 5.3% duty will not be applicable.
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
