The applicable subheading for the 5 in 1 slicer will be 8205.51.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other household tools, kitchen and table implements and parts thereof, of iron or steel, other. The duty rate will be 4.7 percent ad valorem.

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