RE: The tariff classification of hardware from Portugal

Dear Ms. Quinn:

In your letter dated February 26, 1998, on behalf of Baldwin Hardware, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The merchandise is rim locks for doors and parts of locks. All of these items are made of brass. The rim locks come in three styles, the 5600, 5700 and 5630/5640 Series. Each of these items is key-operated. The parts include the no. 5754 key plate, the no. 6755 cylinder cover plate, the 6772 key plate cover, the 5600 series rim lock keepers, reverse bevel strikes, and scuff plates. Your brochure also shows a dummy rim lock, which does not actually operate as a lock.

The applicable subheading for the rim locks will be 8301.40.6030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for padlocks and locks, of base metal, other locks, other, door locks, locksets and other locks suitable for use with interior or exterior doors.
