RE: The tariff classification of a novelty flashlight from
China.
Dear Ms. Hong:
In your letter dated April 15, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Sample is being returned as requested.
The sample submitted is an oblong-shape plastic novelty
flashlight which measures approximately 8 1/2 inches long and
possesses a removable bulbar-shape head depicting the features of
the Pooh Pumpkin. It also has a slide-switch mechanism which
activates the light in illuminating the pumpkin's head.
The applicable subheading for the novelty flashlight will be
8513.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other portable electric lamps designed
to function by their own source of energy. The rate of duty will
be 15 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist
George Kalkines at 212-466-5794.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
