You have submitted photos and drawings of two items identified as picnic baskets said to be composed of rattan and/or palm. You have indicated that there will be no mixing of the two materials.

The duty rate will be 18 percent ad valorem. 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.
