The watch has a round white dial with silver tone hour, minute and second hands. You have indicated in your letter that the watch will be assembled in Indonesia.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The rate of duty will be 40 cents each plus 8.5 percent ad valorem on the case plus 2.8 per cent ad valorem on the strap, band or bracelet plus 5.3 percent ad valorem on the battery.

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