RE: The tariff classification of furniture from Argentina.
Dear Mr. Coffey, Jr.:
In your letter dated November 18, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The five furniture items consist of a dutch bureau bookcase, a
Queen Anne card table, a dutch card table, a Regence bureau and a Louis
XV mahogany bureau. The five items are all made of wood, designed to
stand on the floor and are antique reproductions.
The applicable subheading for the bookcase, tables and bureaus
will be 9403.60.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other wooden furniture. The duty rate will
be 2.5 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 9403.60.8080, HTS, which
are products of Argentina are entitled to duty free treatment under the
Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
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
