RE: The tariff classification of porcelain dinnerware from China.
Dear Mr. Nash:
In your letter dated April 30, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The merchandise at issue is porcelain dinnerware that is
identified as in the Harlequin pattern. The information submitted
indicates that the pattern is principally for household use and is
"available in specified sets" in accordance with Chapter 69,
additional U.S. note 6(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, with an aggregate value of over $56.
The applicable subheading for the Harlequin pattern porcelain
dinnerware will be 6911.10.37, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for ceramic household tableware
of porcelain or china, available in specified sets, in a pattern
for which the aggregate value of the articles listed in additional
U.S. note 6(b) of Chapter 69 is over $56. The duty rate will be 8
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)
