The applicable tariff provision for the pool vacuum will be 9506.99.5500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for "Swimming pools and wading pools and parts and accessories thereof." The general rate of duty will be 5.1 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 177). Sincerely, Jean F.
