RE: The tariff classification of large safety pins from Korea
Dear Mr. Kiel:
In your letter dated September 29, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise is a nickel-plated, brass safety pin. It comes in
lengths of 3 1/4 and 5 inches. The pin is designed to close a laundry bag so
that the entire bag of clothes may be put into the wash.
The applicable subheading for the pin will be 8309.90.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for seals and
other packing accessories. The rate of duty will be 5.2 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
