Dear Ms. Mercatoris:

In your letter dated October 12, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample submitted is a non-electrical metal wall sconce of iron that consists of a stake-shaped article that measures approximately 15 inches in height and features a small flattened top portion with aperture for affixing the item to the wall. Further, there is a curve-shaped pole-like extension, emanating nearly 8 inches from the bottom portion, onto which is attached a small concave-shaped plate with cylindrical-shaped holder for containing a taper (not included).

The applicable subheading for this non-electrical metal wall sconce will be 9405.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other non-electrical lamps and lighting fittings, other. The rate of duty will be 6 percent ad valorem.

Articles classifiable under subheading 9405.50.4000, HTS, which are products of India are currently entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
