RE:	The tariff classification of decorative porcelain platters from China.

Dear Mr. Halkowich:

It is stated that the subject merchandise, designed for decorative purposes, will be either mounted on a wall or displayed with a stand on a horizontal surface such as an end table.  

	The applicable subheading for these decorative porcelain platters will be 6913.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other ornamental ceramic articles of porcelain.  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 the ruling letter 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 George Kalkines at 212-466-5794.
