On one side of the shredder a letter opener device is incorporated in the housing of the shredder. This shredder incorporates a base for placing it on a table or desk. The applicable subheading for the paper shredder will be 8472.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other office machines. The rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem. The applicable subheading for the AC adaptor will be 8504.40.80, HTS, which provides for rectifiers and rectifying apparatus; power supplies.

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.
