RE: The tariff classification of the, Fun Pack style # 4710,
from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Webster:
In your letter dated May 15, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective import, the Fun Pack style # 4710, consists
of a satin bow ponytail holder, a pair of polyester shoe laces,
and a bubble necklace. These items are packed inside a child's
vinyl handbag measuring 6 3/4 " long by 5" wide.
The Fun Pack, style # 4710, will be classified as follows:
Descriptions Classification HTS Rate of Duty
1. Ponytail holder Other combs, hair- 9615. 11 per cent
slides and the like: 19.6010 ad valorem
of textile materials.
2. Polyester shoe Other made up articles 6307.90. 7.9 per cent
laces ...other corset lacings 5020 ad valorem
footwear lacings or
similar lacings other.
3. Bubble necklace Imitation jewelry: 7117.90 11 per cent
other: other: valued 5000 ad valorem
over 20 cents per
dozen pieces or parts.
4. Child's handbag Handbags..with outer 4202.22. 20 per cent
surface of plastic 1500 ad valorem
sheeting
The shoe laces are classified as above. However, for quota
purposes the shoe laces are reported separately under HTS
6307.90.5020. HTS 6307.90.5020 falls within textile category
designation 669. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to quota and visa
requirements.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office.
Each Fun Pack should be marked as clearly, legibly and
indelibly as possible with the proper country of origin.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
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. Maguire
