Dear Mr. Coe:
In your letter of February 23, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling on five wall clocks.
You have not submitted samples, however, you have provided us with photographs and descriptive literature of the five articles. They are:
1. SKU No. F1462 Vendor No. PT 466/HG9000C - A battery operated, quartz analog wall clock incorporating a thermometer and hygrometer in a round case from Taiwan.
2. SKU No. F1570 Vendor No. PT 399/HS075PB - A battery operated, quartz analog pendulum wall clock in a round case with three hands from Taiwan.

The applicable subheading for all five articles 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 plus 5.3% on the battery.
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.
