RE:  The tariff classification of a wooden marker stand from      
     Canada.

Dear Ms. Fountaine:

     In your letter dated July 31, 1996, on behalf of J B Poitras
(St-Eugene, PQ, Canada), you requested a tariff classification
ruling.  You highlighted the three items in question on a
photocopied catalog page accompanying your inquiry.
        
     The first item, identified as a "marker stand," appears to be
a solid block of wood with 16 holes drilled into its top surface. 
It is designed to be placed on a desk, table or the like, where it
will hold up to 16 marking pens, caps down, firmly in place in an
upright position.  The stand is said to be 2" high by 11" wide by
3" deep, and to weigh 3 lbs. 

     The applicable subheading for the "marker stand" will be
4420.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for wooden articles of furniture
not falling within chapter 94.  The general rate of duty will be
4.3%.

     The other two items ("paint brush stand" and "scissor rack")
are not adequately described/illustrated for us to issue a
classification ruling on them at this time.  It appears that they
may be composed of more than one material, but this is not clear
from the photocopied catalog page.  Please submit samples or color
photos of them, along with component material  breakdowns by value,
if applicable.    

     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 regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Paul Garretto at (212)
466-5779.


                                   Sincerely,
