RE: The tariff classification of heat packs and heated mirrors from Australia and Hong Kong

Dear Mr. Courtney:

In your letter dated January 31, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample provided is a self-adhesive strip of conductive material 350mm long and 160mm wide, used to de-mist a mirror. Thin copper material runs along either length of this strip. An electric power cord is attached to the copper. The Mistfree Heater Pack, when attached to a mirror and plugged in, raises the temperature of the mirror 7 to 10 degrees C.

The Mistfree Beauty Mirror is a glass mirror and plastic frame containing the heater pack.

The applicable subheading for the Mistfree Heater Pack will be 8516.80.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for electric heating resistors, other. The duty rate will be 3.1 percent ad valorem.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
