RE:  The tariff classification of closet lights from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. O'Boyle:

     In your letter dated April 9, 1991, on behalf of your
client, Builders Square, Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         
    
     The merchandise at issue is metal and plastic battery-

both the home and the office. 

     The applicable subheading for the metal closet lights will
be 9405.10.60, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for lamps and light fittings...not
elsewhere specified or includ- ed...other electric ceiling or
wall lighting fittings...of base metal:  other.  The rate of duty
will be 7.6 percent ad valorem.   

     The appropriate subheading for the plastic closet lights
will be 9405.10.80, HTS, which provides for lamps and light
fittings...other electric ceiling or wall lighting
fittings...other.  The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad
valorem.

     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,
