Dear Ms. Sapkov:

The entire article measures approximately 7 3/4" long and 3 1/4" wide and is made of plastic.

	The applicable subheading for the Executive Desk Set will be 9105.91.80, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other clocks: Other: Battery or AC powered: Other.  The rate of duty will be 30 cents each plus 6.9% on the case plus 5.3% on the battery.   

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