RE: The tariff classification of a Perfect Chef Fork from China.
Dear Ms. Huff:
In your letter dated October 29, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client Tri Star Products.
The sample submitted is a fork with a rubber/plastic handle.
The item has a built in thermometer which will measure the
temperature and turn it at the same time. Three 1.5v watch
batteries are included. The fork can be used for indoor or
outdoor use and has the appearance of a barbeque fork. The sample
will be returned as per your request.
The applicable subheading for the Perfect Chef Fork will be
8215.99.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Forks with rubber or plastic handles.
The rate of duty will be 0.5 cents each + 3.2% 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 Melvyn
Birnbaum at 212-466-5487.
