RE: The tariff classification of certain paper from Japan.
Dear Ms. Kajer:
In your letter dated September 30, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
A sample sheet, and specifications, were furnished, which will
be retained for reference. The product is white paper, opaque, to
be used on the CalComp Colormaster printer, Model 6603. This
printer can use only letter size paper, which will be imported in
packages, containing rectangular sheets, of which no side exceeds
36 cm in length. (The sample measures 12 7/8" long by 8 1/2" wide.
This length includes a perforated "tear-off" strip, of 1 7/8".
After tearing off this strip, the remaining sheet measures 8 1/2"
x 11". For tariff classification purposes, the length of the
imported sheet will be considered to include the tear-off strip.)
The applicable subheading for the imported CalComp Colormaster
Printer paper, as described, will be 4823.51.0080, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for:
Other (than certain enumerated) paper and paperboard, of a kind
used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes: cut to size
or shape. The rate of duty will be 3 percent.
You should be aware that such paper, if imported in different
size sheets or on rolls, may be classifiable in other provisions,
at other rates of duty.
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
