The applicable subheading for the laser pointer will be 9013.80.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; other. The rate of duty will be 5.4 percent ad valorem.

You requested trademark and patent information on the laser pointer. Questions regarding trademarks and patents should be directed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at (800) 786-9199.
