RE: The tariff classification of decorative ceramic planters from
China.
Dear Ms. Gibson:
In your letter dated May 8, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Sample is being returned as requested.
The sample submitted is a decorative cone-shape ceramic
planter, style number 108524, which measures approximately 5
1/2 inches in height with a top diameter of 7 inches. It possesses
a fluted body with a wheat-like motif in relief encompassing the
rim. Moreover, the planter features 3 apertures, designed for
water-draining purposes, situated near the attached circular-shape
base. It is stated that another similarly constructed decorative
ceramic planter, style number 108525, with a rooster-like design
will also be imported.
The applicable subheading for these decorative ceramic
planters will be 6913.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other ornamental ceramic
articles. The rate of duty will be 6.2 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.
