RE:  The tariff classification of a glass storage canister set
     from China

Dear Mr. Rosbach:

     In your letter dated July 23, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling regarding a glass canister set.  A
representative sample was submitted with your ruling request.

     The subject article, identified as item #962728 "glass panel
shape canister set", consists of four clear glass storage jars.  
The sample, which you submitted, is a twelve sided (faceted)
glass jar that measures 8 inches in height by 3.75 inches in
width.  It has a glass lid that contains a bail and trigger type
closure with a rubber gasket seal.  You indicated in your letter
that this item will be used to store food and miscellaneous
products.  You further stated that the unit value for this item
is $2.30. 

     The applicable subheading for the glass storage canister set 
will be 7013.39.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for
table (other than drinking glasses) or kitchen purposes other
than that of glass-ceramics: other: other: valued not over $3
each.  The rate of duty will be 28.5 percent ad valorem.   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
