RE: The tariff classification of sculptures from France.

Dear Ms. Petriw:

In your letter dated May 8, 2001, you requested a ruling on tariff classification for sculptures created by Christopher Makos.

Christopher Makos was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in California before moving to Paris to study architecture. He eventually became an apprentice with Man Ray. Based on his biography, Christopher Makos’ works have been exhibited in private as well as public collections throughout the world and he is recognized as a professional artist of the free fine arts.

The applicable subheading for sculptures created by Christopher Makos will be 9703.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for original sculptures and statuary, in any material. The rate of duty will be free.

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 Lawrence Mushinske at 212-637-7061.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
