Dear Ms. Julia:
In your letter dated December 13, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The drawer pulls measure approximately 1¼” in diameter by ¼” thick and incorporate a threaded iron screw. They are designed to be mounted to a drawer front by means of the iron screw, and function as knobs for the drawer. Each of the submitted drawer pulls feature a different carved design.
The applicable subheading for the set of 4 assorted drawer pulls will be 9601.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Worked Ivory, bone, tortoise-shell, horn, antlers, coral, mother-of-pearl and other animal carving material, and articles of these materials (including articles obtained by molding): Other: Of bone, horn, hoof, whalebone, quill or any combination thereof.” The rate of duty will be Free.
