ISSUE: Whether the clock radio combined with a mirror is classifiable under subheading 8527.19.10, HTSUS, as other reception apparatus for radiotelephony, valued not over $40 each, incorporating a clock or clock-timer, not in combination with any other article or subheading 8527.19.50, HTSUS, as other reception apparatus for radiotelephony, valued not over $40 each, incorporating a clock or clock-timer, in combination with another article? LAW AND ANALYSIS: Classification of imported merchandise is accomplished pursuant to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The stated value of the article upon importation is less than $40.
A semi circular plastic stand can be folded out to allow the article to stand on a counter and can be fitted into a prefabricated space in the back of the article when it is not in use. The cover of the battery compartment is equipped with a rubber gasket that prevents water from entering the battery compartment. On the back of the article is a compartment that holds four “AA” sized batteries. Also on the front of the radio is a speaker, LCD clock display, and a “fog free” mirror which measures 4 1/2 inches in height by 3 1/4 inches in width. The front of the radio features three control dials: an on/off/volume dial, timer and AM/FM select. The plastic housing is manufactured with an extension that facilitates hanging the article from a shower head, shelf or curtain rod. The article measures approximately 10 inches in length by 5 1/2 inches in width by 1 3/8 inches in depth. FACTS: The “shower radio” (model # PP192546) is a battery operated, AM/FM clock radio designed to be used in the bath or shower. A sample was provided for our examination. As you know, your request was forwarded to this office for reply. Epstein: This is in response to your letter, dated April 29, 1999, to the National Commodity Specialist Division, New York, on behalf of Avon Products, Inc., requesting classification of a “shower radio” pursuant to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
