RE: The tariff classification of brass candle holders from India.

Dear Ms. Gibson:

In your letter dated September 24, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Sample is being returned as requested.

The sample submitted is a barrel-shaped nickel-plated brass candle holder, style number 31555, which measures approximately 2 5/8 inches in height with an open top diameter of 2 1/2 inches and a base diameter of 1 3/4 inches. It is noted to possess a flared top border and a fluted body.

You state that this item should be classified under subheading 9405.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other non-electrical lamps and lighting fittings. However, since the instant article is specially provided for elsewhere, consideration of classification under subheading 9405.50.4000, HTS, is precluded.

The applicable subheading for this brass candle holder will be 9405.50.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other non-electrical lamps and lighting fittings of brass. The rate of duty will be 5.7 percent ad valorem.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist George Kalkines at 212-466-5794.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
