RE:  The tariff classification of a glass platter from Malaysia

Dear Mr. Rosbach:

     In your letter dated August 7, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling regarding a glass platter.  A
representative sample was submitted with your ruling request.

     Item #960525, which is identified as "Crystal Platter",
measures approximately thirteen inches in diameter.  It is made
of clear glass with frosted poinsettia flowers engraved on the
underside of the platter.  You indicated that this article may be
used to serve food items such as cookies or pastries.  You also
indicated that the unit value is $3.09.

     The applicable subheading for the glass platter will be
7013.39.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for table,
(other than drinking glasses) or kitchen other than that of
glass-ceramics: other: other: other: valued over $3 but over $5
each.  The rate of duty will be 15 percent ad valorem.   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 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
