RE: The tariff classification of a butterfly net and butterfly
tent from China.
Dear Ms. Sucharitakul:
In your letter dated February 2, 1995, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Insect Lore.
The merchandise consists of a butterfly tent that measures
four feet high by five feet deep by six feet wide. The tent is
composed of netting made of nylon and features see-through mesh
walls and a two-way zippered door. A second sample consists of a
standard butterfly net.
The applicable subheading for the butterfly net will be
9507.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for "Fish landing nets, butterfly nets and
similar nets." The duty rate will be 5 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the butterfly tent will be
6306.22.9030, HTS, which provides for "Tents: Of synthetic
fibers: Other, other." The rate of duty will be 10 percent ad
valorem.
The tent falls within textile category designation 669. As
a product of China, this merchandise is subject to quota and visa
requirements based upon international textile trade agreements.
Due to the changeable nature of these agreements you are
advised to contact your local Customs office prior to importation
of this merchandise to determine the current status of any import
restraints or requirements.
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
