RE: The tariff classification of a spice rack and a food chopper from China.

Dear Ms. Da Rocha:

In your letter dated May 24, 2002, on behalf of your client Tristar Products, you requested a classification ruling.

You have submitted samples of a plastic spice rack and a plastic hand-operated food chopper with a metal blade. The carousel type spice rack contain 10 spice dispensers. Each spice dispenser can be removed for use and snapped back into place for storage. The dispensers feature a sprinkle dial and a pour dial for measured amounts of spice.

The hand-operated food chopper is made of plastic with a metal chopper blade at the bottom. The food chopper features chop, slice and dice. The spice rack and the food chopper are packaged together for retail sale. However, for tariff purposes they are not considered to be a set and will be classified separately.

The samples are returned as you requested.

The applicable subheading for the plastic spice rack with plastic dispensers will be 3924.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other household articles...of plastics: tableware and kitchenware, Other, Other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the hand-operated chopper will be 8210.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kgs. or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink, and base metal parts thereof. The duty rate will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Joan Mazzola at 646-733-3023.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
