From your letter and the samples submitted, the articles in question, entitled “Halogen Lighting Kit”, are electric light units designed to be installed in cabinets and furniture. The principal difference between the kits is the number of lights in the set. The samples are identified as follows: Model SR60LCS- 2 lights with 20 watt bulbs each in a plastic housing, a 60 watt remote mount transformer, a polarized power plug, on/off cord switch and a power block. Model SW60HC3- 3 lights with 20 watt bulbs each in a plastic housing, a 60 watt plug-in transformer, a polarized power plug, on/off cord switch and a power block.

Model SR120LC5- 5 lights with 20 watt bulbs each in a plastic housing, a 60 watt remote mount transformer, a polarized power block, on/off cord switch and a power block. The applicable subheading for the above light sets will be 9405.40.8000, HTS, which provides for other electric lamps and lighting fittings of other than base metal. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
