Dear Ms. Wood:

In your letter dated November 15, 1996 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, The Container Store, on five wooden stationery items from Italy to be entered through the port of Dallas, Texas.

Item # H31030 Index card file

The index card file holds standard index cards with alphabetical dividers, the letter tray has two shelves, and the vertical letter holder has two separate levels to view incoming or outgoing letters or correspondence. The rectangular pen box w/lid and the square box w/lid can be used to hold pens, paper clips, rubber bands and tacks. All five items could be found on an office or one's personal desk.
