RE: The tariff classification of kitchen articles from Hong Kong and Taiwan

Dear Mr. Tomasek:

In your letter dated January 26, 1996, on behalf of The Pampered Chef, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

One mold creates a heart shape, and the other, a bear or a rabbit. Item number 1260 is a plastic citrus peeler, and item number 2320 is a nylon whisk with a stainless steel handle. Item number 1680 is a stainless steel pastry blender, and item number 1301 is a stainless steel pizza cutter with a plastic handle. The country of origin of all articles is Taiwan, except the pastry blender, which is made in Hong Kong.

The applicable subheading for the pancake molds will be 7615.10.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of aluminum...cooking and kitchen ware, enameled or glazed or containing nonstick interior finishes, cast.
