RE:  The tariff classification of a magnetic photo frame and a
     clock from Canada

To Whom It May Concern:

     In your letter dated June 26, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     As indicated by the submitted samples, the magnetic photo
frame measures 6 3/4 inches x 4 3/4 inches and is comprised of
ferrite rubber magnetic material covered by a laminated paper
design.  The clock is battery operated and is packaged with
accessories which allow it to be mounted to both metal and non-metal surfaces. 

     The applicable tariff provision for the magnetic photo frame 
will be 8505.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for other permanent
magnets.  The general rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad
valorem.  The applicable tariff provision for the clock will be
9105.21.80, HTSUSA, which provides for wall clocks, electrically
operated, other.  The general rate of duty will be 30 cents each,
plus 6.9 percent ad valorem on the case, and 5.3 percent ad
valorem on the battery.      

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 177).

     A copy of the ruling 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
