CBP Should Revoke Toolbox Classification Ruling, Says Newell Rubbermaid

The agency has proposed revoking its ruling on the watch boxes, changing the classification from heading 4202 to 3923 because they are made of molded plastic and not plastic sheeting (see 13071109). Newell Rubbermaid's lawyer, Daniel Cannistra of Crowell and Moring, asked that CBP take a similar stance on the molded plastic toolboxes.

The toolboxes were classified under the same subheading as the watch boxes in NY J85286 (here) and like the watch boxes, the toolboxes are made of "molded plastic," said Newell Rubbermaid. Just like the watch boxes, the tool boxes aren't made from plastic sheeting and therefore do not meet the second provision of heading 4202, it said.
