Dear Ms. Bonace:

In your letter dated July 29, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The furniture items consist of two unassembled Blair Products. The first, Model #677011, is a storage footstool. The second, Model #677121, is a bench. They both have upholstered seats attached to open/close tops which are fixed to the storage or body portion, and four legs to be assembled to the body. The footstool and bench have a hardwood frame with cherry finish. The dimensions of the footstool are 16 inches L x 12 inches W x 11 inches H and the bench 21 inches L x 15 inches W x 19 inches H. They are designed to be placed on the floor or ground.

The two samples submitted are being returned to you under separate cover.
The applicable subheading for the wood storage footstool will be 9403.60.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other wooden furniture, other. The rate of duty will be 2.5 percent ad valorem.
