RE: The tariff classification of a glass decorative article from Mexico.

Dear Mr. Petrosini:

In your letter dated January 9, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling, on behalf of Park B. Smith, Ltd., regarding a decorative glass article.

The item in question (Style # Tril) is a composite article consisting of a metal iron pedestal holding a glass vessel. The vessel is approximately 3 3/4 inches in height and 3 3/4 inches in diameter. It has a round bottom and is incapable of standing upright on its own. You advised this office that the unit value of this item is $1.50 each. The glass vessel distinguishes the article and therefore imparts its essential character. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the glass decorative article will be 7013.99.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes...Other glassware: Other: Other: Other: Valued over $0.30 but not over $3 each." The general rate of duty will be 30 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

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.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
New York Seaport
