The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem. Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on the other items in your request.

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, Jean F.
