RE: The tariff classification of a wall clock and a refrigerator magnet from the U.S. and Canada.

Dear Mr. Marsh:

In your letter dated February 20, 1995, received in this office March 27, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have indicated in your letter that the clock movement is made in the U.S. and the remaining parts of the clock and the magnet are made in Canada.
