RE:  The tariff classification of glass baking dishes with silver
serving          baskets from Turkey, Hong Kong and China.

Dear Ms. Cheung:

     In your letter dated July 29, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The samples that you submitted consisted of a square glass
baking/ serving dish with a hand woven silver plated steel
basket, and a round glass  baking/serving dish which when
imported will also have a matching basket.  The glass dish gives
this composite good its essential character.
      
     We are returning the square silver plated steel basket and
round glass baking dish. The square baking dish was destroyed
when tested in our laboratory.  Analysis of the glass baking dish
in our Customs Laboratory indicated that this merchandise is not
pressed and toughened (specially tempered).

     The applicable subheading for the merchandise as an
entirety, when the glass has a linear co-efficient of expansion
not exceeding 5 X 10-6 per Kelvin within a temperature range of
0oC to 300oC, will be 7013.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for  glassware of a kind
used for table or kitchen purposes... of glass having a linear
coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 X 10-6 per Kelvin within
a temperature range of 0oC to 300oC: other: valued not over three
dollars each.  The rate of duty will be 30 percent ad valorem.   

    When made of any other type of glass, the applicable
subheading for the merchandise will be 7013.39.2000, HTS, under
the provision for glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen
purposes... other: other: valued not over three dollars each. The
rate of duty will be 30 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,
