RE:  The tariff classification of a motion detecting lantern from
Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. O'Boyle:

     In your letter dated August 20, 1991, on behalf of your
client, Builders Square, Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         

     The merchandise at issue is a motion detecting brass lantern
with a polished finish, which automatically turns-on after
sensing a change of temperature from the movement of people,
automobiles, and other moving objects in the target area.

     The applicable subheading for the motion detecting lantern
will be 9405.40.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other electric lamps and
lighting fittings:  of base metal:  of brass.  The rate of duty
will be 5.7 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
