Dear Ms. Morales:

In your letter dated October 10, 2002 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The devices under consideration are computer mouse units or mice from Korea. Descriptive literature was submitted with your request. Five models will be imported. The XT-1400 is a wireless optical mouse operating at 27 MHz. It has two channels and the operation distance is 1.5 M minimum. The XT-1210 is a wireless mouse operating at 27 MHz (1 channel), 433 MHz (4 channels), 900 MHz (4 channels) and 2.4 GHz (4 channels). Operation distance is 1.5 M minimum.
