RE:  The tariff classification of a motor vehicle phone directory
holder from      China or Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Hsiao:

     In your letter dated April 9, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  You have submitted a sample of the
imported product.

     The phone directory holder is designed to be principally
used in motor vehicles.  It is made of high impact plastic and
measures approximately 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches.  The holder
includes a snap-open phone directory, a note pad, a bracket arm
with swivel joint, a VELCRO fastener and two suction cups.  The
holder is placed next to the mobile phone.  It may be mounted to
the dashboard (by means of the VELCRO fastener) or to the
windshield (by means of the two suction cups).
     
     The applicable subheading for the motor vehicle phone
directory holder will be 8708.29.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other parts and
accessories of motor vehicle bodies.  The rate of duty will be
3.1 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,
                                   


                                    Jean F. Maguire
