RE: The tariff classification of textile headbands, ponytail and
barretts from China
Dear Ms. Willey:
In your letter dated August 1, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective imports consist of the following three
textile hair ornaments:
1. A plastic headband totally covered by textile material,
topped with a plastic mermaid (Style# SKU 45147)
2. Two elastic ponytail holders decorated with textile
bow, plastic mermaid and a trailer of plastic beads and
shells (style# SKU 45147).
3. A metal spring clasp with a textile bow decorated with
a small plastic mermaid (style# SKU 45094).
The applicable subheading for the textile hair ornaments
will be 9615.19.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the
like: of textile materials. The rate of duty will be 11 percent
ad valorem.
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
