NY 851642 May 22, 1990 CLA-2-82:S:N:N1:119 851642 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 8211.92.8060 Ms. Lori Aldinger Import Coordinator Rite Aid Corporation P.O. Box 3165 Harrisburg, PA 17105 RE: The tariff classification of a pumpkin carver from Taiwan. Dear Ms. Aldinger: In your letter dated April 18, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted is a pumpkin knife with a double edge serrated blade and wooden handle. The knife measures 7 inches in overall length. The spear shape blade is 3 1/2 inches long with a maximum width of 5/8 of an inch. The knife blade is quite dull and therefore safe for children to use to carve out designs in a pumpkin. The applicable subheading for the pumpkin carver will be 8211.92.8060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other knives having fixed blades and parts thereof: other: other. The rate of duty will be 0.4 cent each plus 6.1 percent. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
