RE:  The tariff classification of a wood jewelry box from China


Dear Mr. Rosbach:

     In your letter dated August 12, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The ruling was requested on Rite Aid item #960512, a wood
jewelry box.  A sample of a box measuring approximately 4 inches
high by 6-1/2 inches wide by 3-1/2 inches deep was submitted.  It
has a drawer with ring holders on the bottom and a compartment
with a lid and mirror on top.  It is made entirely of wood and is
lined with felt covered fabric.

     The applicable subheading for the wood jewelry box will be
4420.90.6500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for jewelry boxes, silverware
chests, microscope cases, tool or utensil cases and similar
boxes, cases and chests, all the foregoing of wood; lined with
textile fabrics.  The rate of duty will be 1.7 percent ad valorem
plus 1.3 cents per kilogram.   

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


                                        Sincerely,
