RE: The tariff classification of Magnatel Hands-Free Magnifying
System from Great Britain
Dear Mr. Cuellar:
In your letter dated October 19, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The Magnatel Hands-Free Magnifying System is a spectacle-type device
with magnifying lenses and adjustable knobs on each temple so that the
spectacles can be focused in a manner similar to binoculars. A textile cord,
similar to an eyeglass cord, is attached to the frames by loops.
The applicable subheading for the Magnatel Hands-Free Magnifying System
will be 9005.10.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for binoculars. The rate of duty will be free.
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
New York Seaport
