00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.567
>> CHRISSI GUTH: Good afternoon, I am Chrissi Guth with
00:00:04.567 --> 00:00:07.279
CBP's office of tribulations. Today's
00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:11.579
webinar is on a recap of fake flowers,
00:00:11.579 --> 00:00:13.966
heating appliances, rushes, and
00:00:13.966 --> 00:00:17.687
headbands.This
00:00:17.687 --> 00:00:28.298
webinar is part of the and CES-D's 2023
00:00:28.298 --> 00:00:31.820
webinar series. Please be mindful that you will be on mute during the presentation. Therefore we ask that you submit any questions you have in the chat feature.If
00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:34.459
you plan to request the optional CCS or
00:00:34.459 --> 00:00:49.041
CES credits through the NCB institute
00:00:49.041 --> 00:00:49.043
please check the chat box for the institution code. It will be provided several times throughout the webinar.Now
00:00:49.043 --> 00:00:50.552
I would like to pass it over to national import specialist
00:00:50.552 --> 00:00:52.159
Kristopher Burton.>>
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.562
KRISTOPHER BURTON: Hello everyone, it's
00:00:56.562 --> 00:01:05.865
Kris Burton. If you don't know me I
00:01:05.865 --> 00:01:10.066
will go real quick, my email is on the first slide so you can have that if you want to email any questions or whatever.
00:01:10.066 --> 00:01:14.997
I imagine a good chunk of you already know me or have seen some of my rulings,
00:01:14.997 --> 00:01:16.973
but I handle a whole bunch of assorted miscellaneous things.
00:01:16.973 --> 00:01:31.513
I have candles, 34^, miscellaneous or
00:01:31.513 --> 00:01:38.316
other articles of classic and 3926. I have all of chapters 6 and 7,
00:01:38.316 --> 00:01:42.012
the latter half of chapter 82, and I have 8516 for heating appliances.
00:01:42.012 --> 00:01:45.390
Then I have a sprinkling of headings in chapter 96,
00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:52.390
9601, 2, 3, 15, I think 13 and 14. So a
00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:54.179
little bit of here and there.Today's
00:01:54.179 --> 00:01:57.794
presentation if you can't tell from the
00:01:57.794 --> 00:02:00.171
title is going to be an overview of my
00:02:00.171 --> 00:02:05.228
past webinars. These are my kind of top
00:02:05.228 --> 00:02:10.795
items that I see on a day-to-day basis.
00:02:10.795 --> 00:02:12.387
Some of these presentations are a few years old, so I thought I would go ahead
00:02:12.387 --> 00:02:17.399
and give a refresh on these topics. So
00:02:17.399 --> 00:02:33.149
we will go ahead and get started.We've
00:02:33.149 --> 00:02:33.151
got the two mission statements, CBP's mission statement, to protect the American people, safeguard our borders, and enhance the nation's economic prosperity.The
00:02:33.151 --> 00:02:36.064
office of trade statement the office of
00:02:36.064 --> 00:02:42.280
trade facilitate legitimate trade,
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:43.937
enforces you was lost, and protects American businesses.Time
00:02:43.937 --> 00:02:47.404
for disclaimers. A lot of words.
00:02:47.404 --> 00:02:50.358
Essentially this one says that what I
00:02:50.358 --> 00:02:57.966
say, you know, take as general guidance.
00:02:57.966 --> 00:03:03.580
[can't understand] speak, hopefully not, but
00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:07.419
if you need specifics talk to a private sector experts such as a licensed
00:03:07.419 --> 00:03:10.559
broker or attorney or consultant, or we always recommend
00:03:10.559 --> 00:03:15.640
filing for a binding ruling.But
00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:17.579
I guess in the last sentence, reliance on what I say today would not be considered
00:03:17.579 --> 00:03:20.772
[can't understand]Another
00:03:20.772 --> 00:03:25.246
disclaimer on the visuals. All of the
00:03:25.246 --> 00:03:26.342
images I have are stock photos taken from
00:03:26.342 --> 00:03:33.996
Google. We do not endorse, support any
00:03:33.996 --> 00:03:36.140
of the products shown. I have just taken them as general examples
00:03:36.140 --> 00:03:39.997
of what I am talking about. And I don't
00:03:39.997 --> 00:03:43.763
believe any of them are specific -- some
00:03:43.763 --> 00:03:45.989
of them might be but most of them are just general images
00:03:45.989 --> 00:03:48.769
to illustrate a point.Last
00:03:48.769 --> 00:03:56.118
but not least, if you guys have been
00:03:56.118 --> 00:03:58.949
doing this for more than a couple of minutes you know that classification is complicated.
00:03:58.949 --> 00:04:12.119
Each item is unique and distinct. So
00:04:12.119 --> 00:04:18.762
as stated before, if you have specific questions about specific products, talk to a customs specialist or file for a binding ruling. You can do that electronically and there is the link.Okay.
00:04:18.762 --> 00:04:21.019
Now we can go ahead and get started.
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:23.989
When I was coming up with the idea,
00:04:23.989 --> 00:04:27.558
greatest hits came to me. This is my
00:04:27.558 --> 00:04:34.044
greatest hits from past webinars. If
00:04:34.044 --> 00:04:36.417
you have seen all of the past webinars, this may be pretty much a refresh and you have already seen it.
00:04:36.417 --> 00:04:41.591
But hopefully there was a little bit new in there
00:04:41.591 --> 00:04:44.401
to make it still interesting. So with that we will go ahead and get started with the first item.Heading
00:04:44.401 --> 00:04:48.396
6702 which is where the fake flowers,
00:04:48.396 --> 00:04:51.381
even though it also includes foliage and
00:04:51.381 --> 00:04:55.612
fruits. It is broken up into two parts
00:04:55.612 --> 00:04:57.142
and within that two you have these
00:04:57.142 --> 00:05:07.039
articles of plastic and other material.
00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:10.150
And of the plastics, it specifies how it is made. So if it is plastic
00:05:10.150 --> 00:05:20.901
in the first part it is binded or glued,
00:05:20.901 --> 00:05:28.890
and then other would be fitted together. It gives you choices so it is a process of elimination. Others is fitted together.The
00:05:28.890 --> 00:05:31.340
other materials doesn't really care, it's either feathers or not, and then man-made fibers. Me that as polyester
00:05:31.340 --> 00:05:36.987
fiber and then all of the other assorted
00:05:36.987 --> 00:05:36.989
material.Per
00:05:36.989 --> 00:05:50.597
note 1, it does not contain or does not
00:05:50.597 --> 00:06:05.621
cover straining cloth, floral motifs, footwear, headgear, tors, sports equipment, carnival equipment, feather dusters, powder puffs or hair sieves.
00:06:05.621 --> 00:06:05.623
Honestly you don't see a lot of this and it is set forth in chapter 95 but I have to differ on that on whether it is [can't understand] or not.She
00:06:05.623 --> 00:06:09.779
usually says yay or nay and if it is name then we don't take it.It
00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:13.957
also doesn't cover articles of glass.
00:06:13.957 --> 00:06:19.232
And those items of pottery, stone,
00:06:19.232 --> 00:06:48.958
metal, wood, or other materials obtained
00:06:48.958 --> 00:06:48.960
in one piece. So there is not an exclusion from pottery, stone, metal, wood, it is just when it is obtained in one piece by molding, fortune, carving, standing or other processes or consisting of parts from glowing and that is where we get that.Explanatory
00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.033
notes again, it covers flowers, foliage, fruits, resembling natural products and there is a construction requirement and it also includes parts and the articles that are made from these items.This
00:06:55.033 --> 00:07:03.257
was something I had in the previous webinar that I thought would be useful to everyone.
00:07:03.257 --> 00:07:09.000
This is if they are real feathers -- we already have a question, awesome. If they are made of real feathers what may they be subject to fish and wildlife?
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.345
That would be a question for fish and wildlife. If it is real feathers I would say yes,
00:07:10.345 --> 00:07:14.781
when we write rulings and there is
00:07:14.781 --> 00:07:16.354
anything made of animal, sometimes even
00:07:16.354 --> 00:07:19.582
with certain plants we just go ahead and
00:07:19.582 --> 00:07:21.987
put language in there and check with
00:07:21.987 --> 00:07:26.355
fish and wildlife because they could be
00:07:26.355 --> 00:07:30.781
protected, it could be not. A while
00:07:30.781 --> 00:07:39.790
back there was a story of fake fur that
00:07:39.790 --> 00:07:40.184
turned out to be I think raccoon don't. If it says turkey feather it may be
00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:45.592
hock. So just to be mindful of the
00:07:45.592 --> 00:07:48.988
feathers in the supply chain and all of that.Could
00:07:48.988 --> 00:07:50.976
it be subject? Possible. As I said
00:07:50.976 --> 00:07:55.150
usually it is common, like a goose
00:07:55.150 --> 00:08:00.612
feather or a turkey feather. They are
00:08:00.612 --> 00:08:02.391
really not as concerned with that. But sometimes it is another feather
00:08:02.391 --> 00:08:04.745
that is passed off as a more common
00:08:04.745 --> 00:08:11.171
feather.So
00:08:11.171 --> 00:08:15.400
for the construction test, it must resemble a natural product.
00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:22.764
That is where there is a little bit of a gray area. If it looks like a pumpkin
00:08:22.764 --> 00:08:24.153
even though it is purple and glittery, we will probably still go there because if you look at it and it looks like a pumpkin now,
00:08:24.153 --> 00:08:26.360
if it is purple and glittery and you
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.777
have no idea -- is an Apple, a
00:08:30.777 --> 00:08:39.017
blueberry, a pumpkin, that is when we
00:08:39.017 --> 00:08:42.770
will say it does not resemble a natural product. But if you put it in front of anyone and say what is this, it's a pumpkin but it is purple,
00:08:42.770 --> 00:08:42.772
then we will usually go with that.Made
00:08:42.772 --> 00:08:48.766
by various parts meaning two or more.
00:08:48.766 --> 00:08:50.184
With the pumpkin you got the body and you've got the stem,
00:08:50.184 --> 00:08:54.800
glue them together, assembled by various
00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:54.802
parts.Than
00:08:54.802 --> 00:08:57.542
the binding. Fastened together usually
00:08:57.542 --> 00:09:22.208
with wire. Florist's tape, green,
00:09:22.208 --> 00:09:26.635
brown, that is what we see the most common with binding. Gluing is pretty easy, adhesive. Then fitting together, usually that is with the plastic items. You have -- I will say little ring with a hook and they go together and click together and fitted together.
00:09:26.635 --> 00:09:35.688
Also the paper flowers were you have a metal
00:09:35.688 --> 00:09:48.242
brad and you have two or three flower sections and you stack them on top of each other and put the pin through and fit
00:09:48.242 --> 00:09:49.107
it together.This
00:09:49.107 --> 00:09:55.637
is an issue that we see fairly frequently. As I said these are just general examples.
00:09:55.637 --> 00:09:58.134
I can't say exactly where they would be classified because I don't know materials, but let's say for example
00:09:58.134 --> 00:10:02.341
on the first slide that those are all
00:10:02.341 --> 00:10:09.542
polyester fabric with a natural vine, a
00:10:09.542 --> 00:10:12.153
natural grapevine behind it.And
00:10:12.153 --> 00:10:17.969
then you have the other wreath which is
00:10:17.969 --> 00:10:22.203
probably like foam plastic pumpkins and polyester leaves,
00:10:22.203 --> 00:10:25.370
maybe a mix of plastic where the sunflowers
00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:28.321
and maybe some plastic foam beads. So
00:10:28.321 --> 00:10:31.360
this is first the audience participation
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.776
part.Is
00:10:37.776 --> 00:10:43.699
grapevine considered to have bark? We will say no.
00:10:43.699 --> 00:10:53.453
It's just a vine. I guess it would embark on it, but it's just
00:10:53.453 --> 00:10:53.455
vine.So
00:10:53.455 --> 00:10:57.419
as a quick thought to both leaves the belong under heading 6702?
00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:05.759
Yes or no.Okay.
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:12.970
And the first answer, he knows, he has asked in this a lot.
00:11:12.970 --> 00:11:16.362
So the way we look at these, and that is correct, no.
00:11:16.362 --> 00:11:19.372
The first one has visible lines and due
00:11:19.372 --> 00:11:24.596
to the vines' visual nature and
00:11:24.596 --> 00:11:27.579
underlying structure, we consider it to
00:11:27.579 --> 00:11:30.187
impart the central character. It is one
00:11:30.187 --> 00:11:37.986
of those, each gets a point. You've got
00:11:37.986 --> 00:11:43.507
a point for decorative for the vine and a point for decorative for artificial foliage,
00:11:43.507 --> 00:11:46.602
and then the vine gets structured so they get two points with the initial character review.
00:11:46.602 --> 00:11:49.356
So it goes to the plating material and
00:11:49.356 --> 00:11:55.164
not to the artificial foliage.We
00:11:55.164 --> 00:12:02.253
will go to the next one. How about this artificial succulent?
00:12:02.253 --> 00:12:04.492
Surprisingly succulents are pretty popular right now when we get quite a bit day questions on succulents.
00:12:04.492 --> 00:12:13.973
Is this heading 6702?Okay,
00:12:13.973 --> 00:12:19.968
you guys are already asking the right questions.
00:12:19.968 --> 00:12:26.594
And I think you got onto that. It depends.
00:12:26.594 --> 00:12:28.548
The succulents, I have seen them both ways. If you submit a binding ruling to us we will ask
00:12:28.548 --> 00:12:31.324
that you provide images of this and in
00:12:31.324 --> 00:12:33.135
detail how these are assembled. Usually
00:12:33.135 --> 00:12:41.404
if I get a ruling for something in 6702
00:12:41.404 --> 00:12:43.744
and it just says I've got something, you will probably get questions from me or a reject
00:12:43.744 --> 00:12:48.994
because I need to know how these are assembled
00:12:48.994 --> 00:12:48.996
because they have to meet the construction requirements.Most
00:12:48.996 --> 00:12:56.279
of the time I can guess but I always
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.135
like to confirm. If it is molded in one piece as some of you has already pointed out it would fail the construction.
00:12:59.135 --> 00:13:00.124
If it is made of plastic it goes to 3926
00:13:00.124 --> 00:13:05.032
under other ornamental articles which I
00:13:05.032 --> 00:13:13.028
also handle. So I get it either way.But
00:13:13.028 --> 00:13:18.594
just to let you know, let us know how it is because as I said sometimes they are fitted together in segments or molded in one piece.Pumpkins,
00:13:18.594 --> 00:13:21.727
they all go to heading 6702. I guess pumpkins are very popular
00:13:21.727 --> 00:13:24.932
because we get a lot of pumpkins. So
00:13:24.932 --> 00:13:28.305
take a guess on this one, it should be
00:13:28.305 --> 00:13:31.969
pretty easy. Do all pumpkins go to
00:13:31.969 --> 00:13:38.340
heading 6702? If you guys ever have
00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:43.370
festive, some do go to festive, but in this case once again
00:13:43.370 --> 00:13:54.203
it depends. Does the pumpkin meet the construction requirement?
00:13:54.203 --> 00:14:00.369
It must be made by binding, gluing, for fitting together. It is crocheted or so, if we are talking metal or welded, those are some construction elements we have seen.
00:14:00.369 --> 00:14:02.775
If it is not binding, glue, are fitted we don't consider it crocheting or welding or some of the other things to meet that,
00:14:02.775 --> 00:14:09.338
so that it could go elsewhere.Okay,
00:14:09.338 --> 00:14:17.015
so this is just a general example. We
00:14:17.015 --> 00:14:19.592
just have a picture. How do you classify this, what is it made of, what is the construction?
00:14:19.592 --> 00:14:29.423
Let's say for example this wreath does
00:14:29.423 --> 00:14:30.896
meet requirements for heading 6702. It is glued and will say the community is all plastic and molded
00:14:30.896 --> 00:14:32.743
and all of the flowers are polyester
00:14:32.743 --> 00:14:37.506
fabric. Any guesses on whether it goes
00:14:37.506 --> 00:14:44.101
to 6702 or two 6710 with plastic or 6790
00:14:44.101 --> 00:14:53.539
as possibly man-made fibers?Okay,
00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:58.226
go ahead and as I said I don't know all
00:14:58.226 --> 00:15:04.797
the details, this is just my best guess
00:15:04.797 --> 00:15:07.915
using my imagination on this. I would probably go with 6702.90, 3500.
00:15:07.915 --> 00:15:14.959
Actually GRI 3B because this is
00:15:14.959 --> 00:15:20.759
flowers, it is probably marketed and sold as a spring wreath.
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.961
It is bright red and yellow and orange that draws your attention in.
00:15:22.961 --> 00:15:26.764
But I guess it also could fall to 3C so
00:15:26.764 --> 00:15:31.582
you win either way with 93 500, but it's
00:15:31.582 --> 00:15:37.558
an example of what you look for.With
00:15:37.558 --> 00:15:42.991
a central character it's like weight and value, if it is decorative,
00:15:42.991 --> 00:15:51.526
and you don't have that kind of utilitarian functionality. Sometimes you look at visual appeal
00:15:51.526 --> 00:15:55.572
and why with the customer byte it. You look at it and it's like oh, it's pretty, but what is it that is the most pretty or the prettiest.
00:15:55.572 --> 00:15:57.951
That is the reason why they are buying it in this case and I would say it is
00:15:57.951 --> 00:16:00.335
the flowers, so that would be what would
00:16:00.335 --> 00:16:03.979
provide the central character.If
00:16:03.979 --> 00:16:09.154
you also have the flowers have the most of the value in most of the weight
00:16:09.154 --> 00:16:10.913
which is probably also the case but as I said I don't know, than that also helps further
00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:13.351
the argument that they impart the
00:16:13.351 --> 00:16:19.934
central character.So
00:16:19.934 --> 00:16:22.349
that is a good question, on whether if
00:16:22.349 --> 00:16:25.553
the succulent is molded in one piece and
00:16:25.553 --> 00:16:27.928
glued to the pot doesn't count. My
00:16:27.928 --> 00:16:33.726
opinion is no because it's not really
00:16:33.726 --> 00:16:38.383
the article -- it is not the article of
00:16:38.383 --> 00:16:40.740
heading 6702 which is being assembled
00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:49.094
through one of those methods. While it
00:16:49.094 --> 00:17:24.890
is the total article, the pot holds a
00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:24.892
different classification, so it is a composite good and you are putting that together. And of course in most cases the foliage imparts the central character over the pot.But
00:17:24.892 --> 00:17:32.165
since you are having two items combined together the ceramic pot goes elsewhere and the foliage is what has to be assembled in multiple pieces. So taking a solid piece of foliage and gluing it onto a pot doesn't count. I hope that answers that question.We
00:17:32.165 --> 00:17:56.367
love pumpkins and it almost looks real and if it's real
00:17:56.367 --> 00:17:57.344
it goes elsewhere, but in this case you
00:17:57.344 --> 00:17:57.346
have the pumpkin which is foam with maybe a paint shell on it. Then you have a solid molded plastic stem which is glued on. Or we can even make it more complicated to say it has a little nail type head so it is pushed into the pumpkin and then glued.Attached
00:17:57.346 --> 00:18:03.366
or glued. Usually we go with when you
00:18:03.366 --> 00:18:04.322
and the glue because that is what is really holding it in there.
00:18:04.322 --> 00:18:09.364
So 10 2000, and like I said this is
00:18:09.364 --> 00:18:18.654
just an example. I don't really know
00:18:18.654 --> 00:18:24.166
how this pumpkin is made, just I artificial pumpkin in Google. So hopefully that gives you an idea of what we are looking for and what you should look for
00:18:24.166 --> 00:18:27.148
and how to classify these things. You just have to take these components and look at how they are
00:18:27.148 --> 00:18:30.439
made and what they are made out of and how they are assembled
00:18:30.439 --> 00:18:32.067
and what makes them look like in this
00:18:32.067 --> 00:18:38.987
case a pumpkin.Yes,
00:18:38.987 --> 00:18:44.321
it's plastic. It is predominantly plastic and you would not look elsewhere.Yes,
00:18:44.321 --> 00:18:46.353
exactly. Those are the type of little things that get
00:18:46.353 --> 00:18:51.712
glued to wreaths.Nice
00:18:51.712 --> 00:18:58.136
and quick, now we are on to heading
00:18:58.136 --> 00:18:59.317
8516. I just a part of the chapter and not the whole chapter.
00:18:59.317 --> 00:19:04.548
We had all [can't understand] so I just
00:19:04.548 --> 00:19:06.708
of the flowers. In this case I am looking at more of the domestic
00:19:06.708 --> 00:19:10.946
household type electro thermal
00:19:10.946 --> 00:19:13.725
compliances and where the question comes
00:19:13.725 --> 00:19:29.939
up, electro Thermo does mean a change in
00:19:29.939 --> 00:19:39.934
temperature which could mean to make it colder or hotter but for CARES purposes it means hotter. 8516, if it does not get hot it does not go there.
00:19:39.934 --> 00:19:39.936
Refrigeration goes in chapter 84.As
00:19:39.936 --> 00:19:44.944
a brick at we have the hairdressing and her drying apparatus, electric flat irons, microwave ovens.
00:19:44.944 --> 00:19:47.520
The ovens, ranges, cooking plates,
00:19:47.520 --> 00:19:51.152
rings, and just in case you guys don't
00:19:51.152 --> 00:19:54.332
know, and often is a little box that
00:19:54.332 --> 00:19:58.145
cooks. The stove is the part that has
00:19:58.145 --> 00:20:07.946
burners and the little metal rings or
00:20:07.946 --> 00:20:11.747
some type of oil or something that heats up. And the range is a combination of the stove and oven.And
00:20:11.747 --> 00:20:16.162
then other. And then you have the other
00:20:16.162 --> 00:20:19.950
electro Thermo compliances like
00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:23.526
coffeemakers, toasters, and other
00:20:23.526 --> 00:20:30.429
electro Thermo components.So
00:20:30.429 --> 00:20:33.467
it does not cover electrically warm to blankets, bed pads, foot muffs
00:20:33.467 --> 00:20:36.381
or things that you wear and it also
00:20:36.381 --> 00:20:40.116
excludes seated furniture. And another
00:20:40.116 --> 00:20:48.383
section about toasters, it states the
00:20:48.383 --> 00:20:52.098
term toaster includes toaster ovens which are designed essentially for toasting bread but can also make small items such as potatoes.And
00:20:52.098 --> 00:20:55.726
we've got again a breakout of the
00:20:55.726 --> 00:21:01.115
electro thermic hairdressing apparatus
00:21:01.115 --> 00:21:05.386
and hand dryers. Hairdryers, Isaac ones
00:21:05.386 --> 00:21:06.926
that some of you might have used this morning. Hair curlers,
00:21:06.926 --> 00:21:14.131
curling Tong heaters and hand
00:21:14.131 --> 00:21:14.133
dryers.Electrics
00:21:14.133 --> 00:21:19.336
moving irons, you might've used
00:21:19.336 --> 00:21:20.914
something like this this morning to press your clothes.Then
00:21:20.914 --> 00:21:23.100
you have the other which includes
00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:33.572
everything else. So microwaves are
00:21:33.572 --> 00:21:34.918
specifically provided for under this umbrella, and then you have the ovens, cookers, things like that, coffeemakers, again
00:21:34.918 --> 00:21:42.300
toasters and you have the capsules,
00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:46.317
crêpe makers, waffle irons. A lot of the stuff
00:21:46.317 --> 00:21:51.379
is for making food but it doesn't have to be for food.
00:21:51.379 --> 00:21:54.958
Like popcorn, then you have a face dryer, facial sauna,
00:21:54.958 --> 00:21:57.946
heated towel rail, bed warmers.And
00:21:57.946 --> 00:22:04.116
you will notice, going back, bed pad.
00:22:04.116 --> 00:22:06.697
That is more of like a fabric type
00:22:06.697 --> 00:22:09.333
blanket that would go over the bed and
00:22:09.333 --> 00:22:11.887
could be heated.Whereas
00:22:11.887 --> 00:22:18.545
in this case a bed warmer is more like a
00:22:18.545 --> 00:22:23.570
blower, a heated blower that blows hot air
00:22:23.570 --> 00:22:25.545
in between the mattress and the comforter. That would be a bed warmer.It
00:22:25.545 --> 00:22:29.584
excludes again electrically warm
00:22:29.584 --> 00:22:32.149
blankets, bed pads, things that you wear.
00:22:32.149 --> 00:22:33.692
Roller type ironing machine, the bigger
00:22:33.692 --> 00:22:36.758
one. I will just say the commercial
00:22:36.758 --> 00:22:43.940
grade thermoelectric compliances that
00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:53.194
aren't usually found in a household, industrial microwaves,
00:22:53.194 --> 00:23:00.589
furniture, cigarette lighters, domestic versus commercial and I will get to that as well as a second, that is the sticky .485 16.We
00:23:00.589 --> 00:23:08.605
will start with our first 8516 audience participation. We got a flat iron and a couple of headings.
00:23:08.605 --> 00:23:21.897
You see laying it right out there, electric flat irons, travel type, and other. Is that where this one goes?Okay,
00:23:21.897 --> 00:23:28.634
some people know and some people are
00:23:28.634 --> 00:23:29.496
tricked. As I said the tariff, if you have done this for more than a couple of minutes,
00:23:29.496 --> 00:23:36.955
it's tricky because as I said it sounds
00:23:36.955 --> 00:23:37.879
like your flat iron. This is an electric flat iron, no doubt.
00:23:37.879 --> 00:24:35.010
But per this headquarters ruling, the
00:24:35.010 --> 00:24:35.012
electric irons aren't flat irons for classification purposes because those are used for pressing clothes. And this is not for pressing clothes, it is for pressing hair.So
00:24:35.012 --> 00:24:39.892
it would be under 8516.32, as and other hairdressing apparatus. It is not a curlers so it would be under 40. So that is the trick and you have to be careful with the tariff. It lays it right out, it tells you have got an electric flat iron and this is where this goes. And unfortunately if you look more into it, going into our notes and things like that, you find out that is not where it goes.This
00:24:39.892 --> 00:24:44.317
is a hot topic, pun intended as well. I
00:24:44.317 --> 00:24:47.902
have a coffee maker. Any reason it should not go under sub-heading
00:24:47.902 --> 00:24:57.305
8516.71 with coffeemakers?The
00:24:57.305 --> 00:24:59.945
first person to chime in, is it household
00:24:59.945 --> 00:25:09.193
or commercial. Bingo, gold star. That
00:25:09.193 --> 00:25:12.744
is exactly the point. I don't believe this is the exact coffee maker that was ruled on this, but I believe it was the Kerig
00:25:12.744 --> 00:25:19.028
brand and we have to look at how was it
00:25:19.028 --> 00:25:28.211
used. The Cumberland them factors come into play with this.There
00:25:28.211 --> 00:25:29.149
are some items, to give you guys a heads up, if you do with is that kind of span the gap and could be used in both places
00:25:29.149 --> 00:25:32.346
interchangeably. The item I'm thinking
00:25:32.346 --> 00:25:34.103
about our water dispensers they can be
00:25:34.103 --> 00:25:40.999
used in the office and at home and that
00:25:40.999 --> 00:25:46.621
matter is currently before headquarters, we got referred up.
00:25:46.621 --> 00:25:53.519
They did issue a really not long ago that when you have the heating and cooling component
00:25:53.519 --> 00:26:11.315
cooling is 84 and heating is 85, less
00:26:11.315 --> 00:26:11.317
tariff because they are both equal to the appliance, so generally the water dispensers are 8516 but how do you distinguish between a household and commercial versions.So
00:26:11.317 --> 00:26:16.167
that is the question before headquarters on water dispensers because sometimes it is hard to tell.
00:26:16.167 --> 00:26:22.726
Sometimes it's easy based on the warranty and expected
00:26:22.726 --> 00:26:24.118
length of life and the prices a big tell but sometimes not. Sometimes domestic is more or less the same as commercial.So
00:26:24.118 --> 00:26:28.728
it depends. Again it depends on whether
00:26:28.728 --> 00:26:40.393
it is domestic or commercial use.Okay.
00:26:40.393 --> 00:26:52.679
Now let's go on to the next one. I have a toaster oven. We all know we call these things toaster ovens. So is it a toaster or an oven?
00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:58.707
The tariff says you are going to toast something, it's a toaster, but it also provides for ovens. So any guesses if this is a toaster or an oven?Okay,
00:26:58.707 --> 00:27:00.489
it looks like you guys are getting it right.
00:27:00.489 --> 00:27:03.775
Oven is the correct answer. I went
00:27:03.775 --> 00:27:07.947
with something more extreme do not make
00:27:07.947 --> 00:27:10.112
it too complicated or confusing. If you
00:27:10.112 --> 00:27:13.939
are throwing French doors and it has two
00:27:13.939 --> 00:27:17.910
racks, it is not suitable for just a
00:27:17.910 --> 00:27:22.917
couple of slices of bread or a potato.And
00:27:22.917 --> 00:27:27.914
I don't want to say this is a bright line test,
00:27:27.914 --> 00:27:30.114
but it has come up in several different rulings as noted at the bottom.
00:27:30.114 --> 00:27:33.158
It's the pizza test. As I said it is
00:27:33.158 --> 00:27:35.956
very unofficial and don't take this as
00:27:35.956 --> 00:27:39.519
anything official guidance or whatever,
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.101
but from those three rulings this is about
00:27:42.101 --> 00:27:45.103
where it starts to get big enough that
00:27:45.103 --> 00:27:45.879
it is no longer a toaster but it becomes
00:27:45.879 --> 00:27:58.801
an oven.So
00:27:58.801 --> 00:28:02.722
as pointed out it is designed essentially to toast bread, small items. If you think of the traditional toaster as pictured below you get two slices of bread, maybe four,
00:28:02.722 --> 00:28:04.519
but we are pretty much just talking two slices of bread.
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.008
So that would be maybe two or three
00:28:10.008 --> 00:28:11.524
potatoes depending on if you get one of those restaurant potatoes it's one.
00:28:11.524 --> 00:28:13.724
But outside of that we are talking
00:28:13.724 --> 00:28:15.517
something pretty small. It is kind of a
00:28:15.517 --> 00:28:19.944
single use appliance.When
00:28:19.944 --> 00:28:25.295
you start saying it can broil and air
00:28:25.295 --> 00:28:27.191
fry and sauté and whatever, you are
00:28:27.191 --> 00:28:34.337
losing it and you are going into oven.
00:28:34.337 --> 00:28:38.781
And since I mentioned it, it does not appear that
00:28:38.781 --> 00:28:47.293
the air fry debate is quite settled yet.
00:28:47.293 --> 00:28:49.081
It is no longer before the courts, at least that I am aware of. The air fryers I think are settled on is being considered ovens,
00:28:49.081 --> 00:28:51.885
at least at this time. Mainly because I
00:28:51.885 --> 00:29:01.223
think that is where the exemption has
00:29:01.223 --> 00:29:05.212
them. But in the question of what is an air fryer, you have an oven that air fries is that still an air fryer or does it have to be
00:29:05.212 --> 00:29:07.907
one of those cattle looking things with a little basket.So,
00:29:07.907 --> 00:29:12.525
another issue before headquarters. So
00:29:12.525 --> 00:29:19.314
air fryers are still hanging out.This
00:29:19.314 --> 00:29:22.899
should be an easy one if you guys have been paying attention.
00:29:22.899 --> 00:29:27.101
We have a domestic and electro-thermic
00:29:27.101 --> 00:29:30.938
article here. Are we 8516.79 or not as
00:29:30.938 --> 00:29:49.566
other electro-thermic appliances?Yay!
00:29:49.566 --> 00:29:56.126
Making sure everyone is paying attention. Always read the chapter notes, that's one of the first things that I learned
00:29:56.126 --> 00:29:59.945
in import specialist basic training, was again it can say flat iron
00:29:59.945 --> 00:30:05.735
or something like that. Tariff does that a lot.
00:30:05.735 --> 00:30:18.760
But if you look to the chapter notes, usually it will explain it and tell you exactly where you need to go,
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:18.762
and if not sometimes in the expander notes which also will put you in the direction you need to go.But
00:30:18.762 --> 00:30:20.081
you guys are right, the chapter note, the first one and the first item within that, electrically want blankets are excluded.
00:30:20.081 --> 00:30:24.062
So this would go under specifically
00:30:24.062 --> 00:30:31.765
electric blankets.Since
00:30:31.765 --> 00:30:37.749
I am covering 9615 later in this presentation,
00:30:37.749 --> 00:30:46.539
how do you tell when it goes to 8516 and when does it go to 9615
00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:54.334
because they kind of point back at each other. It goes here or it goes here. So how do you tell? The answer right there at the bottom.
00:30:54.334 --> 00:30:55.686
Again, the heat source. If it has a cord on it or it is battery-powered,
00:30:55.686 --> 00:31:00.918
if you have electricity and we've got
00:31:00.918 --> 00:31:02.698
something that is electro-thermic and it goes 8516.
00:31:02.698 --> 00:31:07.945
If it is just plastic, like those
00:31:07.945 --> 00:31:12.534
rollers or bobbin type things, then it
00:31:12.534 --> 00:31:15.671
goes to 9650.This
00:31:15.671 --> 00:31:18.755
is the last example. Then we can move
00:31:18.755 --> 00:31:27.767
on. Had you classify a hybrid sous vide
00:31:27.767 --> 00:31:34.513
oven, this is an example we had recently
00:31:34.513 --> 00:31:37.874
that want to headquarters. It's an oven but it also cooks with water.So
00:31:37.874 --> 00:31:41.111
when we have these hybrid appliances, in
00:31:41.111 --> 00:31:44.324
just a second -- oven. Oven. Yes. It
00:31:44.324 --> 00:31:46.673
is kind of in the name, that is one of
00:31:46.673 --> 00:31:51.499
the things we look to. How is it
00:31:51.499 --> 00:31:52.896
described, how was it sold. In this
00:31:52.896 --> 00:31:58.487
case there has been previous steam ovens
00:31:58.487 --> 00:32:04.092
that were classified in the oven
00:32:04.092 --> 00:32:07.313
sub-heading. In this case we looked at
00:32:07.313 --> 00:32:08.314
how it principally cooks. You can cook it
00:32:08.314 --> 00:32:11.295
as an oven with or without the steam and
00:32:11.295 --> 00:32:16.723
that further enhances the oven's central
00:32:16.723 --> 00:32:21.337
character. So in the end we went to
00:32:21.337 --> 00:32:21.339
oven.I
00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:23.260
think the argument was whether it went to
00:32:23.260 --> 00:32:33.109
8516.79 as and other electric appliance.
00:32:33.109 --> 00:32:34.910
It is still an electric oven, so an oven. Correct, and that is essentially what headquarters decided
00:32:34.910 --> 00:32:36.656
for this one.Okay,
00:32:36.656 --> 00:32:47.866
moving on. 9603. Going over [can't
00:32:47.866 --> 00:32:51.065
understand], that would be a negative as
00:32:51.065 --> 00:32:56.888
I handle neither 7321 or 7322, so I will
00:32:56.888 --> 00:33:05.758
not be covering those today. Sorry.What
00:33:05.758 --> 00:33:13.699
about convection microwaves. I don't want to say too much on microwaves, I will go back real quick to the tariff.
00:33:13.699 --> 00:33:16.903
Back, back, back. Okay, there we go,
00:33:16.903 --> 00:33:24.531
microwaves. I believe that issue may be
00:33:24.531 --> 00:33:27.904
before the court of international trade. I know there is an issue with microwaves before the court
00:33:27.904 --> 00:33:30.467
so I don't want to speak too much on ovens.
00:33:30.467 --> 00:33:32.893
The only thing that I wanted to point out
00:33:32.893 --> 00:33:49.920
is here. If you look at 8516.60.40 60
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.880
you have micro if oven combinations. And this can get tricky because you have to deal with the GRIs
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:56.172
and you go heading to heading to
00:33:56.172 --> 00:33:59.679
sub-heading. If you look at the six digit
00:33:59.679 --> 00:34:04.655
8516.50 versus 8516.60, you have
00:34:04.655 --> 00:34:09.076
microwaves and ovens. And you can
00:34:09.076 --> 00:34:17.079
typically 3B either to the oven or
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:21.856
usually to the microwave I would say. And you don't even get
00:34:21.856 --> 00:34:25.871
to microwave oven combination. So it is one of those kind of weird
00:34:25.871 --> 00:34:29.719
statistical sub-headings that may not get used that much
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:29.721
based on how you actually classify.It's
00:34:29.721 --> 00:34:36.139
there, it is specifically named in the
00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:44.157
product, but basically the way you classify things it may not end up there.But
00:34:44.157 --> 00:34:47.893
yeah, generally if it's a microwave oven, again microwave ovens are
00:34:47.893 --> 00:34:59.474
specific [can't understand] done by capacity internally.Okay,
00:34:59.474 --> 00:35:11.419
9603. Again just part of the heading.
00:35:11.419 --> 00:35:12.474
Dealing with the toothbrushes, shaving brushes, hairbrushes, cosmetic
00:35:12.474 --> 00:35:17.652
artist brushes and things like that. A
00:35:17.652 --> 00:35:20.856
question that was brought up in one of my previous
00:35:20.856 --> 00:35:27.543
panels on this, and I thought it was a great question.
00:35:27.543 --> 00:35:30.874
It kind of stumped me. It was essentially, is an eyelash brush a hairbrush.
00:35:30.874 --> 00:36:01.218
Eyelashes are hair. Eyelashes and
00:36:01.218 --> 00:36:08.552
eyebrows our hair. So the trick to that was one not, yes, it's a hairbrush. I was wrong, it happens. If you look at the specific language, hairbrushes, comma, and for me usually it is a semicolon, eyelashes and eyelash brushes, so bingo
00:36:08.552 --> 00:36:14.953
it makes a distinction between hairbrush and eyelash brush. So and eyelash brush is not a hairbrush.I
00:36:14.953 --> 00:36:18.084
don't think many people use basting brushes on their hair
00:36:18.084 --> 00:36:20.870
or on there person. So they would not
00:36:20.870 --> 00:36:29.925
be classified under hair under 21.And
00:36:29.925 --> 00:36:37.703
then going to the next, this is where you would find the basting brushes.
00:36:37.703 --> 00:36:42.155
9050 is I think where most of the basic
00:36:42.155 --> 00:36:42.157
rushes go when used primarily on food.For
00:36:42.157 --> 00:36:44.691
hair dye it would depend on
00:36:44.691 --> 00:36:47.824
construction. But I would say generally
00:36:47.824 --> 00:36:58.643
they would be similar to large brushes,
00:36:58.643 --> 00:36:59.751
similar brushes for the application of cosmetics. That would be my guess, I would have to do more research on that you know definitively
00:36:59.751 --> 00:37:09.089
to see if brushes for hair dye. So it
00:37:09.089 --> 00:37:14.652
would either be there in 9603.30 or down at the bottom, I would have to research that more.I
00:37:14.652 --> 00:37:14.654
can't say for certain on that.Chapter
00:37:14.654 --> 00:37:19.652
note 4, excludes articles of precious
00:37:19.652 --> 00:37:29.075
metals, pearls, some of precious stones,
00:37:29.075 --> 00:37:39.767
unless a minor constituent. A matter constituent is like a little monogram.
00:37:39.767 --> 00:37:43.343
So if you have as an example a stainless steel, it is nice and silver but it is stainless, a comb. And to make it fancy you have a monogram
00:37:43.343 --> 00:37:52.532
in goldleaf. That would be a minor constituent.What
00:37:52.532 --> 00:37:53.830
the group concludes, toothbrushes, shaving brushes, brushes for toilet use,
00:37:53.830 --> 00:37:58.480
and again this is the England English
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:03.684
and so toilet is a bathroom for personal
00:38:03.684 --> 00:38:05.674
care. Bathroom personal care, not like
00:38:05.674 --> 00:38:10.246
the actual commode.Brushes
00:38:10.246 --> 00:38:15.514
rubber or plastic for toilet use or
00:38:15.514 --> 00:38:18.282
cloves or household use, brooms, brushes, things like that,
00:38:18.282 --> 00:38:25.320
and brushes for grooming animals.We
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:29.488
love our sets, we love our combination products.
00:38:29.488 --> 00:38:31.670
This is a nice fancy cosmetic case with
00:38:31.670 --> 00:38:34.459
a mirror that lights up. And it comes
00:38:34.459 --> 00:38:40.890
with five brushes, makeup brushes. So
00:38:40.890 --> 00:38:46.228
what are your guys' thoughts? Is this a
00:38:46.228 --> 00:38:55.548
case, makeup brushes?Since
00:38:55.548 --> 00:39:04.292
I am talking about brushes maybe that is a giveaway.
00:39:04.292 --> 00:39:08.918
The case I believe would be [can't
00:39:08.918 --> 00:39:14.652
understand] and I worked on a similar type of product. There is a ruling
00:39:14.652 --> 00:39:27.465
and we discussed this. The mirrored case actually held a higher value than the brushes.
00:39:27.465 --> 00:39:31.910
But you can't discount the utility that the brushes possess. So that is one of the things, its value, weight, other things that people look for as a central character aren't always the ultimate defining
00:39:31.910 --> 00:39:34.254
item you have to look at. Generally you have to look at how is it used.I
00:39:34.254 --> 00:39:41.892
would say the case can be reused. I
00:39:41.892 --> 00:39:45.292
don't recall in this case if the brushes were specifically fitted
00:39:45.292 --> 00:39:58.606
to the case, but I believe they were.
00:39:58.606 --> 00:39:58.608
So you could not just slide any brush in there. If it was reusable then you have -- again you have to look at it.In
00:39:58.608 --> 00:40:00.241
this specific instance, each case is unique. The brushes were fit into the case.
00:40:00.241 --> 00:40:05.684
You could not discount that the brushes
00:40:05.684 --> 00:40:06.855
were also important in merited equal consideration.
00:40:06.855 --> 00:40:19.878
So 9603.30.6000.There
00:40:19.878 --> 00:40:22.674
you go, you've got the answer, it is 3C.
00:40:22.674 --> 00:40:29.667
So you are right.Okay,
00:40:29.667 --> 00:40:36.066
this was in my previous webinar but in
00:40:36.066 --> 00:40:42.635
case you were not paying attention, what about electric toothbrushes?
00:40:42.635 --> 00:40:47.874
If you remember back, toothbrushes are specifically provided for in the heading 9603.
00:40:47.874 --> 00:41:01.275
It says toothbrushes right there. What about toothbrushes and what about replacement heads?In
00:41:01.275 --> 00:41:19.231
this the chapter notes are not as specific.Let
00:41:19.231 --> 00:41:22.243
me go back. I think it is actually in
00:41:22.243 --> 00:41:25.618
the heading language where it mentions
00:41:25.618 --> 00:41:31.086
not motorized. Not motorized. So there
00:41:31.086 --> 00:41:33.264
is a distinction made in the language of
00:41:33.264 --> 00:41:38.434
the heading itself. So you throw a
00:41:38.434 --> 00:41:43.130
motor on it, no. So the toothbrush
00:41:43.130 --> 00:41:49.856
itself, even if it comes with the heads
00:41:49.856 --> 00:41:50.860
and the body, because of the motor it would be classified elsewhere.
00:41:50.860 --> 00:42:00.674
I think it is 8509 is somebody
00:42:00.674 --> 00:42:00.676
suggested.But
00:42:00.676 --> 00:42:05.281
the replacement heads, it is the basically a toothbrush even though you would have trouble using them on their own.
00:42:05.281 --> 00:42:09.664
If you just import the heads themselves, they are the brushes.Okay,
00:42:09.664 --> 00:42:11.719
we've got this nice lint roller for use.
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.076
Is it for use on the person? So what
00:42:15.076 --> 00:42:18.879
you classified under 9603.20 something
00:42:18.879 --> 00:42:25.810
as for use on a person?Any
00:42:25.810 --> 00:42:33.043
thoughts?It's
00:42:33.043 --> 00:42:38.876
a little bit of a trick. If you read
00:42:38.876 --> 00:42:59.168
the heading language, other, toilet
00:42:59.168 --> 00:43:01.010
brushes for use on the person. So it is toothbrushes, shaving brushes, hairbrushes, approaches, eyelash brushes, and other types of grooming star brushes for use on a person. Not any brush used on a person. So yes it probably still goes to 9603,
00:43:01.010 --> 00:43:16.447
just not 21 or 29.Why
00:43:16.447 --> 00:43:21.523
would it be considered a part. Good
00:43:21.523 --> 00:43:24.150
question that I would have to research more.
00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:27.950
I am not sure if 8509 is handled by NIS
00:43:27.950 --> 00:43:42.186
Mike Chin. I don't recall if it has a
00:43:42.186 --> 00:43:47.471
parts provision and if there is not a parts provision that could be why. Some of those settings don't have a parts provision. If it does
00:43:47.471 --> 00:43:48.223
it could be that I toothbrushes more specifically provided for than a
00:43:48.223 --> 00:43:52.023
part. Because you are right, you can't
00:43:52.023 --> 00:43:54.039
really use them together, you do have to
00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:58.853
look at for classification what is most
00:43:58.853 --> 00:44:03.005
specific. And it is a toothbrush.But
00:44:03.005 --> 00:44:06.706
again that is one of those general
00:44:06.706 --> 00:44:07.451
questions and I would have to research
00:44:07.451 --> 00:44:12.049
more to give a definitive answer.That
00:44:12.049 --> 00:44:18.669
is why we always -- binding ruling,
00:44:18.669 --> 00:44:24.165
binding ruling, binding ruling, because everything is unique and
00:44:24.165 --> 00:44:24.167
it's an interesting place.Another
00:44:24.167 --> 00:44:28.883
example from the last webinar. Is this a mop?
00:44:28.883 --> 00:44:36.664
Months are covered under heading 9603,
00:44:36.664 --> 00:44:36.666
so is this a product under 9603?Okay,
00:44:36.666 --> 00:44:39.258
thanks for the clarification, it does cover parts but I'm going to guess
00:44:39.258 --> 00:44:40.820
if you have part versus toothbrush,
00:44:40.820 --> 00:44:50.481
toothbrush is more specific.Now,
00:44:50.481 --> 00:45:00.665
if you had one of the components with a handle, that would probably be a part.Moving
00:45:00.665 --> 00:45:10.422
on from toothbrushes, is this a mop?Same
00:45:10.422 --> 00:45:17.621
as the toothbrushes. I didn't know
00:45:17.621 --> 00:45:23.056
everyone was going to get so excited about electric toothbrushes. But yes,
00:45:23.056 --> 00:45:26.071
the wet jet, we've got the ruling right here. Because of that motor
00:45:26.071 --> 00:45:30.835
it covers electric motor Inc. so it does
00:45:30.835 --> 00:45:34.890
not meet the terms of heading 9603. So
00:45:34.890 --> 00:45:42.507
there we go.Yes,
00:45:42.507 --> 00:45:47.647
it can be used without the motor, but it contains one.
00:45:47.647 --> 00:45:53.701
So it is that whole -- it has that functionality there,
00:45:53.701 --> 00:45:58.002
and I don't want to say fugitive use, but if it is there most people would probably take advantage of it.Moving
00:45:58.002 --> 00:46:07.102
on to the last heading, almost there.
00:46:07.102 --> 00:46:36.184
It went by quick. We've got combs,
00:46:36.184 --> 00:46:39.232
hair slides, and I believe this was in the first presentation I did. Combs, hair slides and the like, curling pins, curling groups, hair slides. Again that is in England English term that more or less refers to a barrette, like a hair clip type of thing. But for what I am going to focus on, similar to the artificial foliage.
00:46:39.232 --> 00:46:43.616
It breaks out into plastics and other
00:46:43.616 --> 00:46:48.850
materials.And
00:46:48.850 --> 00:46:49.288
another question, would it be the same thing as a
00:46:49.288 --> 00:46:57.890
swiffer. With some of the swiffer it's
00:46:57.890 --> 00:47:04.852
a stick and that is more or less a mop
00:47:04.852 --> 00:47:06.626
and there is no motor on it. So does it have a difference between a stick
00:47:06.626 --> 00:47:08.430
with a mop pad on it and a stick with a
00:47:08.430 --> 00:47:20.195
motor and a sprayer and other features.
00:47:20.195 --> 00:47:24.701
There is a distinction there.So
00:47:24.701 --> 00:47:27.469
we have kind of a breakout between plastics and other materials and within that
00:47:27.469 --> 00:47:31.093
you have a breakout of Combs and hair slides.
00:47:31.093 --> 00:47:35.654
And then the combs are done by value.
00:47:35.654 --> 00:47:40.841
It includes all kinds of again toilet Combs,
00:47:40.841 --> 00:47:42.006
grooming for animals, so general grooming. Dress Combs,
00:47:42.006 --> 00:47:45.650
it says personal adornment, that is what
00:47:45.650 --> 00:47:53.851
you would wear so sticking it into your
00:47:53.851 --> 00:47:55.169
hair. It is essentially like a barrette but we include
00:47:55.169 --> 00:48:00.626
the [can't understand] shaped headbands,
00:48:00.626 --> 00:48:03.012
hairpins and curling pins and that is
00:48:03.012 --> 00:48:05.633
later in the chapter.Okay,
00:48:05.633 --> 00:48:09.088
in case you guys don't know and I
00:48:09.088 --> 00:48:13.586
mentioned it because it is something that is unusual
00:48:13.586 --> 00:48:17.608
because it is a unit of quantity and
00:48:17.608 --> 00:48:21.483
also in some of the duty calculations it
00:48:21.483 --> 00:48:27.464
is per gross which is by gross. So it
00:48:27.464 --> 00:48:35.079
is essentially 144 items, a dozen dozen.
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:38.011
So if you were looking at further classification, $4.50 per gross and it equals a little over
00:48:38.011 --> 00:48:49.375
three cents per each. So I would say
00:48:49.375 --> 00:48:49.377
most of the time you are well above three cents each, so usually under $4.50 per gross but you don't see that very often.Textile
00:48:49.377 --> 00:48:54.659
hair accessories. You have two types
00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:57.604
that are excluded, you have the flat
00:48:57.604 --> 00:49:03.834
textile headbands which are all textile,
00:49:03.834 --> 00:49:05.996
there is nothing else. It is just a loop of textile.
00:49:05.996 --> 00:49:19.803
Those are generally handled by NIS
00:49:19.803 --> 00:49:23.629
Hayward. Then you have the ponytail holders which a fabric with some type of elastic type material on the interior. Those are generally handled by NIS Dodge.
00:49:23.629 --> 00:49:28.084
Again that issue is kind of up before headquarters
00:49:28.084 --> 00:49:34.449
on the interior material and where it could go.So
00:49:34.449 --> 00:49:36.614
just be aware. But in general, if we
00:49:36.614 --> 00:49:41.403
are talking textiles and primary
00:49:41.403 --> 00:49:45.844
textiles, it is excluded from 8615.A
00:49:45.844 --> 00:49:48.054
hair comb that contains precious stones.
00:49:48.054 --> 00:49:52.664
It depends on if it is a hair comb that
00:49:52.664 --> 00:49:53.819
is a dress comb that you put in your hair. If you put it in your hair
00:49:53.819 --> 00:49:59.537
to wear it it most likely would be
00:49:59.537 --> 00:50:05.294
considered a type of jewelry which is I
00:50:05.294 --> 00:50:07.400
think 71 or something. And if it is a comb with precious gems
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.474
or metals and it is for combing, then it
00:50:12.474 --> 00:50:16.840
would be based on the constituent material.So
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.037
we've got that. If you have a solid
00:50:20.037 --> 00:50:24.036
gold comb with diamonds on it and you
00:50:24.036 --> 00:50:26.601
use it to comb your hair, then it would probably
00:50:26.601 --> 00:50:28.201
be classified as an article of a comb
00:50:28.201 --> 00:50:31.243
for that question.We've
00:50:31.243 --> 00:50:35.130
got this big pink flower with a headband.
00:50:35.130 --> 00:50:36.819
I think you guys have all had it, it
00:50:36.819 --> 00:50:53.884
would have had a witch's hat on it.
00:50:53.884 --> 00:51:03.169
Decorative items and they could be considered costumes with a headband, it's before headquarters and it looks like it will be resolved fairly soon on whether it is festive.
00:51:03.169 --> 00:51:08.222
Or because of the headband it becomes utilitarian and thus would be excluded from chapter 95 and go to the headband.But
00:51:08.222 --> 00:51:09.188
if we are saying a cute little hat that is not a
00:51:09.188 --> 00:51:14.211
witch's hat and it could possibly be
00:51:14.211 --> 00:51:20.603
festive, than a stays with 9615.In
00:51:20.603 --> 00:51:22.223
this case because you have the headband
00:51:22.223 --> 00:51:27.727
which is an item that is holding hair
00:51:27.727 --> 00:51:31.426
and you have a follow attached to it, you guys are correct, 9615.But
00:51:31.426 --> 00:51:33.993
if the headband is plastic and the
00:51:33.993 --> 00:51:41.808
flower is we will say polyester fabric
00:51:41.808 --> 00:51:42.801
like most of the flowers, then it would go to other material because even though
00:51:42.801 --> 00:51:48.041
the headband gets up in under 9615, you
00:51:48.041 --> 00:51:49.805
have to break it down for components for
00:51:49.805 --> 00:51:54.418
the 3B determination and you would end
00:51:54.418 --> 00:52:00.262
up using other materials for that.It's
00:52:00.262 --> 00:52:07.600
similar if it was on a little metal clip.We've
00:52:07.600 --> 00:52:14.519
got this mane and tail comb. We will
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:20.246
see the teeth are metal and the handle is plastic.
00:52:20.246 --> 00:52:24.631
Where would we put this one?We
00:52:24.631 --> 00:52:28.235
said combs are broken out into plastics
00:52:28.235 --> 00:52:31.802
and other materials.For
00:52:31.802 --> 00:52:35.883
that we will say it is well over $4.50
00:52:35.883 --> 00:52:47.600
per gross.I
00:52:47.600 --> 00:52:51.179
see some plastic and some metal. With a
00:52:51.179 --> 00:52:55.458
lot of these you would look, similar to
00:52:55.458 --> 00:52:58.762
some of the other stuff we handle, the working surface.
00:52:58.762 --> 00:52:59.816
The comb, the teeth itself are metal in
00:52:59.816 --> 00:53:05.262
this example. I could be plastic but we
00:53:05.262 --> 00:53:08.004
will say they are metal. Because the teeth are metal
00:53:08.004 --> 00:53:12.012
the comb is a metal comb and you would
00:53:12.012 --> 00:53:15.606
go to 9615.19, and we said it was well
00:53:15.606 --> 00:53:32.473
over so 19.4000 in this example.I
00:53:32.473 --> 00:53:34.797
think this was already asked, what if you put some flowers on a mental hair clip. Since we're getting close on time,
00:53:34.797 --> 00:53:37.253
we will say again these are fabric
00:53:37.253 --> 00:53:40.449
because that is what you are really seeing.
00:53:40.449 --> 00:53:48.246
Even though the hair clip is what --
00:53:48.246 --> 00:53:49.002
the hair clip gets 9615, but then you are buying it for the flowers.
00:53:49.002 --> 00:53:54.456
So generally in looking at the
00:53:54.456 --> 00:54:03.987
precedent for the hairclips under 9615,
00:54:03.987 --> 00:54:06.597
it generally is what is the decorative on it. Not all of the time but generally the decorative item on the hair clip
00:54:06.597 --> 00:54:09.036
is what imparts the central character
00:54:09.036 --> 00:54:19.354
and would ultimately provide the classification.As
00:54:19.354 --> 00:54:28.847
I said, you are right, the hairclips why you buy it. So at the heading level,
00:54:28.847 --> 00:54:32.006
GRI 1, bingo, 9615. No doubt about that. But then you get to 6 to classified on the sub-heading level
00:54:32.006 --> 00:54:35.802
and you have to go down from there.The
00:54:35.802 --> 00:54:40.775
last item. We will say metal hair comb.
00:54:40.775 --> 00:54:48.641
I think the image -- in this image it
00:54:48.641 --> 00:54:57.178
was actually preserved flowers, but we will say they are artificial.We've
00:54:57.178 --> 00:55:03.472
got the thing to show it to you. Again
00:55:03.472 --> 00:55:14.843
like we were discussing in the chat box, we got a dress comb.
00:55:14.843 --> 00:55:22.653
Specifically provided for under 9615 and we don't have to look elsewhere, we are there. But then like what are you really buying it for, what will be visible when
00:55:22.653 --> 00:55:24.173
worn. What sets this apart from other
00:55:24.173 --> 00:55:36.667
items. In this case it is the flowers.
00:55:36.667 --> 00:55:38.973
If it's hard rubber or plastic, which none of this is, then you go to other and most likely valued over the $4.50 per gross,
00:55:38.973 --> 00:55:52.973
so 19.4000, same as the horse comb.A
00:55:52.973 --> 00:55:56.480
question. A wreath, if it is a written
00:55:56.480 --> 00:56:03.004
set of flowers or -- okay, 9602 is only
00:56:03.004 --> 00:56:10.989
for artificial flowers. Fruits,
00:56:10.989 --> 00:56:14.445
foliage, so if you don't have any
00:56:14.445 --> 00:56:22.205
artificial flowers, foliage, fruits, if
00:56:22.205 --> 00:56:24.583
it is just ribbons or little Christmas balls or something like that,
00:56:24.583 --> 00:56:31.469
then know. But since we are starting to
00:56:31.469 --> 00:56:33.594
veer into festive territory, I do not handle that
00:56:33.594 --> 00:56:40.531
and I know it is very touchy. There is
00:56:40.531 --> 00:56:43.004
a lot of court cases on festive materials. I would prefer not to touch on that or speak on that.If
00:56:43.004 --> 00:56:49.296
you have a wreath or any product that is
00:56:49.296 --> 00:56:50.791
maybe festive and it contains flowers, because some of the foliage
00:56:50.791 --> 00:56:52.810
can be considered festive, we ask that
00:56:52.810 --> 00:57:03.929
you send in for a binding ruling. That
00:57:03.929 --> 00:57:05.604
is the best way for us to make a call on whether something is festive or not, go ahead and send it our way. As I said I don't handle that so I am not really suited
00:57:05.604 --> 00:57:10.990
to make that call.And
00:57:10.990 --> 00:57:21.848
with that we go to questions. I have a
00:57:21.848 --> 00:57:25.954
question and 6702, if there are two multiplistic absolute together to form an item, for example a pumpkin, with that go to
00:57:25.954 --> 00:57:25.956
item 6702.Generally
00:57:25.956 --> 00:57:29.793
I would say yes because you have two
00:57:29.793 --> 00:57:35.012
parts that are glued together to form a whole
00:57:35.012 --> 00:57:42.470
assembled from various pieces. Generally like with the pumpkins,
00:57:42.470 --> 00:57:43.839
we talked about the body and the stem. If you were gluing those together and it gets the 6702 treatment,
00:57:43.839 --> 00:57:52.957
if you had, if the stem is on one half,
00:57:52.957 --> 00:57:56.417
and I have the top half with the stem already on it and the bottom math and you glue them together to form a solid pumpkin,
00:57:56.417 --> 00:57:58.207
then I wouldn't see one at 6702.I
00:57:58.207 --> 00:58:05.242
guess you just have to be careful of is
00:58:05.242 --> 00:58:17.212
it meant for some other purpose like holding things. Is there a hinge on it or something like that.I'm
00:58:17.212 --> 00:58:20.236
not sure on that, let's go back to 36.
00:58:20.236 --> 00:58:26.564
Hold on a second, go to slide 36.36.
00:58:26.564 --> 00:58:34.364
Is this the -- yes, the webinar will be
00:58:34.364 --> 00:58:38.988
posted online. So is this the slide
00:58:38.988 --> 00:58:51.393
four who wanted 36?This
00:58:51.393 --> 00:58:56.005
is essentially per chapter note 1,
00:58:56.005 --> 00:58:58.992
electrically warmed blankets, that is
00:58:58.992 --> 00:58:59.968
the ruling we spoke on about electric
00:58:59.968 --> 00:59:18.236
blankets.So
00:59:18.236 --> 00:59:21.578
the question, what if it is not a festive headband but somewhat costume like. That is the exact issue before headquarters,
00:59:21.578 --> 00:59:36.611
is the cat ear, dog ear, I was thinking
00:59:36.611 --> 00:59:45.408
antlers but those kind of items, is it an instant costume or a headband and headquarters is looking at that.
00:59:45.408 --> 00:59:50.006
So I can't really speak on whether it would go there. That was essentially is it a headband or an instant costume/festive.Costumes
00:59:50.006 --> 00:59:53.773
are classified as garments.There
00:59:53.773 --> 00:59:59.013
was a ruling on flat irons. Let me go
00:59:59.013 --> 01:00:02.228
back to flat iron. There is the ruling on flat irons
01:00:02.228 --> 01:00:08.963
for who wanted that.We
01:00:08.963 --> 01:00:13.039
will see if we have any other questions.
01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:15.407
I think I saw -- a ruling for festive
01:00:15.407 --> 01:00:19.195
headbands, classified for [can't
01:00:19.195 --> 01:00:21.365
understand] durability of the product.
01:00:21.365 --> 01:00:26.242
Once that decision goes out, and it
01:00:26.242 --> 01:00:27.586
will most likely be in the customs notice because I believe
01:00:27.586 --> 01:00:36.884
there will be some rulings that have to
01:00:36.884 --> 01:00:38.140
be revoked if it's not already in the customs notice, but I believe there will be some rulings that have to be revoked concerning the headbands
01:00:38.140 --> 01:00:47.628
and items on there.So
01:00:47.628 --> 01:00:53.574
festive is trouble, agreed, and I don't even handle it.As
01:00:53.574 --> 01:01:01.062
I said it is case-by-case on items.Okay,
01:01:01.062 --> 01:01:03.164
let's see if we have any other last
01:01:03.164 --> 01:01:07.156
questions before we go back to the last
01:01:07.156 --> 01:01:09.800
slide. It has my email on there
01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:14.407
again.And
01:01:14.407 --> 01:01:19.352
do we go. Hopefully that was beneficial
01:01:19.352 --> 01:01:22.792
and gave a refresh on these four
01:01:22.792 --> 01:01:27.787
headings. And when we see the rulings
01:01:27.787 --> 01:01:32.426
come in on these, especially on the
01:01:32.426 --> 01:02:55.997
foliage, we will get all of the information
01:02:55.997 --> 01:02:55.999
on classification and some of the details. The more information the better.Thank
01:02:55.999 --> 01:02:56.003
you guys. My job is to teach and provide guidance and I enjoy it as well, and I appreciate you guys all tuning in. And hopefully you guys learned something.Okay.
01:02:56.003 --> 01:02:56.009
So thank you, and Chrissi if you want to go ahead and close us out.>>

01:02:56.017 --> 01:02:56.017
KRISTOPHER BURTON: Goodbye everyone.
