NY I86638 November 7, 2002 CLA-2-44:RR:NC:SP:230 I86638 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 4420.90.8000 Ms. Gillian Peirce Polardreams International Ltd. 1100 North 4th Street Fairfield, IA 52556 RE: The tariff classification of a wooden shelf with drawers and hooks, from China. Dear Ms. Peirce: In your letter dated September 30, 2002 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The ruling was requested on a wooden “home display shelf” identified as LF1239/1775SH. A photo and diagram of the item were submitted for our review. The top portion of the unit is a wooden shelf measuring approximately 18½” wide by 4½” deep. Immediately below the shelf are two small wooden drawers with metal knobs. A wooden back panel that descends a few inches below the drawers has three attached, dual-pronged metal hooks. The unit is intended to be mounted on a wall and used for general household purposes. You state that the product may be made of a different kind of wood or may be finished in a different color. In that case, it would have a different LF prefix but the same 1775SH item number. The applicable subheading for the “home display shelf,” item 1775SH (various LF prefixes), will be 4420.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for wooden articles of furniture not falling within chapter 94. The rate of duty will be 3.2%. The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in 19 CFR 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the information furnished in the ruling letter, either directly, by reference, or by implication, is accurate and complete in every material respect.  This ruling is being issued under the assumption that the subject goods, in their condition as imported into the United States, conform to the facts and the description as set forth both in the ruling request and in this ruling. In the event that the facts or merchandise are modified in any way, you should bring this to the attention of Customs and you should resubmit for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2. You should also be aware that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic verification by the Customs Service. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
