RE:  The tariff classification of pewter tableware from Canada

Dear Ms. Purdy:

     In your letter dated May 29, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         

     Your descriptive literature indicates that you will be
importing pewter trivets, pewter napkin holders, pewter dish-
trays, pewter hurricane lamps, and pewter pate knives.

     The applicable subheading for the pewter trivets and pewter
napkin holders will be 8007.00.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of
tin, used for household, table or kitchen use.  The rate of duty
will be 3.1 percent ad valorem.   

     Goods classifiable under subheading 8007.00.1050, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.1 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.

     The applicable subheading for the pewter dish-tray will be
8007.00.1010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of tin, used for
household, table or kitchen use.  The rate of duty will be 3.1
percent ad valorem.   

     Goods classifiable under subheading 8007.00.1010, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
2.1 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.

     The applicable subheading for the pewter hurricane lamp will
be 9405.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other non-electrical lamps and lighting
fittings, not of brass.  The rate of duty will be 7.6 percent ad
valorem.   

     Goods classifiable under subheading 9405.50.4000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
5.3 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.

     The applicable subheading for the pewter pate knives will be
8215.99.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for spoons, forks, butter-knives, other. 
The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.   

     Goods classifiable under subheading 8215.99.5000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
3.7 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.

     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,
