RE: The tariff classification of a glass beaded holder from
China.
Dear Mr. Stauffenecker:
In your letter dated April 30, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted is made of small glass beads strung on
a wire and wrapped around a metal frame with an open bottom. The
item is approximately 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 1/4 inches
in height. After importation the subject article is retail
packed with two plain glass candle holders, each with a candle.
The imported beaded item is used as a decorative holder for the
candle holders with candles. The imported holder is an
ornamental part of a lamp or lighting fitting.
The applicable subheading for this glass beaded holder will
be 9405.91.6080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other glass parts for non-electrical
lamps and lighting fittings. The rate of duty will be 4.9
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.
