The blades may be in a single piece, encompass jointed cutting blades and handles. Customs has previously labeled multi-goal shears, capable of reducing by steel, plastic, cardboard, and so on., in NY 886243, dated June 13, 1993. In NY 886243, the area Director of the brand new York Seaport determined that the multi-purpose shears, having angled blades and large plastic ring handles, were classifiable beneath subheading 8213.00.90, HTSUS, which supplies for other scissors and related shears. The "Power Cutter" is just like the multi-purpose shears which had been categorized in NY 886243 as a result of both cutters have angled blades and huge ring handles. We find that the "Power Cutter" meets the description of scissors in EN 82.13, and is classifiable underneath subheading 8213.00.90, HTSUS, which supplies for other scissors and related shears. The protestant argues that the "Power Cutter" is a utility software as a result of it is used to chop sheet metallic, plastic, carpet, flooring and other comparable gadgets.

Because the "Power Cutter" can minimize metallic, the protestant believes that it's more than a scissor and must be labeled under subheading 8203.30.00, HTSUS, as metallic cutting shears. Heading 8203, HTSUS, offers for plier-kind of shears used for chopping metal. The "Power Cutter" just isn't a plier-sort of shears and is able to slicing more than simply steel. It is also able to chopping numerous issues corresponding to: poultry elements, carpet, linoleum, plastic, rubber, wire, silk. Because the "Power Cutter" meets the description of scissors and does not reduce solely metal, we find that it's not the type of shears covered under heading 8203, HTSUS. The protest is DENIED. Any reliquidation of the entry in accordance with the choice must be accomplished previous to mailing of the decision. Sixty days from the date of the decision the Office of Regulations and Rulings will take steps to make the choice out there to Customs personnel through the Customs Rulings Module in ACS and the public by way of the Diskette Subscription Service, Lexis, Freedom of knowledge Act and other public access channels.
