Dear Mr. Pettingell:

In your letter dated July 1, 1991, which was received in our office on August 15, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The ruling was requested on Russian Khokhlama Lacquered Woodenware. Photographs of the articles were submitted. They consist of a tray, four cups, four saucers, four spoons, and two covered bowls. The utensils are handcrafted from the wood of the linden tree and are handpainted and lacquered. The decorated utensils are capable of and designed to hold and serve food and beverages.

The applicable subheading for the spoons will be 4419.00.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for tableware and kitchenware, of wood: forks and spoons. The rate of duty will be 33-1/3 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the cups, saucers, tray, and covered bowls will be 4419.00.8000, HTS, which provides for other tableware and kitchenware, of wood. The rate of duty will be 33-1/3 percent ad valorem.

Importations of these products may be subject to import regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.). Information regarding applicable regulations administered by the F.D.A. may be addressed to that agency at the following location:
