RE: The tariff classification of nylon and polypropylene braided
cordage from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Yarns:
In your letter dated August 28, 1990, on behalf of Coghlans
Ltd. you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted samples of a braided 100% nylon cord,
article # 701, and a braided 100% polypropylene cord, called
"camo cord",article # 9050. Both items are 50 feet long and are
on plastic winders. You stated that the cords are reusable items
used to tie or hold down anything.
The applicable subheading for the braided 100% nylon cord
will be 5607.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for twine, cordage, ropes and
cables...of other synthetic fibers, other. The duty rate will be
7.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the braided 100% polypropylene
cord will be 5607.49.3000, HTS, which provides for twine,
cordage, ropes and cables,...of polyethylene or polypropylene,
other, other. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
Both these items fall within textile category designation
669. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Taiwan are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of
a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories 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.
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
