RE: The tariff classification of a Bath Beauty Set from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Young:
In your letter dated May 5, 1998, on behalf of Meijer, Inc.,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample consists of a clear vinyl zippered
toiletry bag, measuring 8-1/2" x 5" x 2", containing a plastic
toothbrush holder and soap dish, a complexion scrub pad of nonwoven
materials, and a nylon bath sponge. The sample is being retained
for official purposes.
The applicable subheading for the Bath Beauty Set will be
9605.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for travel sets for personal toilet, sewing
or shoe or clothes cleaning (other than manicure and pedicure sets
of heading 8214). The rate of duty will be 8.1% 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 Lawrence Mushinske at
212-466-5739.
Sincerely,
