Dear Ms. Ramsey:

In your letter dated July 25, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested.

The merchandise under consideration is the Mini Reading Lamp, item number 62170. It is a gooseneck-style desk lamp constructed of plastic and steel. The base of the lamp is plastic and measures approximately 3.63 inches in length by 2.13 inches in width by 1.38 inches in height at its widest points. Embedded in the top of the base is a push-button on-off switch; the base also houses a compartment for 3 “AAA” batteries, not included. Rising from the base is a thin, flexible steel tube measuring approximately 6.5 inches in height. Attached to the end of this tube is a rectangular lamp-holder made of plastic, measuring approximately 3.25 inches long by .75 inches wide by .5 inches in height at its widest points. The lamp-holder houses 8 LED bulbs.

The applicable subheading for the Mini Reading Lamp, item number 62170, will be 9405.20.8010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Lamps and lighting fittings: Electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing lamps: Other: Household.” The general rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.
