RE: The tariff classification of a "glitter/shoelace kit" from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Gore:
In your letter dated February 27, 1991, on behalf of
Venture, O'Fallon, MO., you requested a classification ruling.
The sample submitted is a "glitter/shoelace kit," style
#S101357B. The kit consists of one pair of 45" shoelaces
constructed of man-made fiber woven fabric and three bottles of
glitter glue.
The applicable subheading for the "glitter/shoelace kit"
will be, 6307.90.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of, the United
States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles,
including dress pattern: Corset lacing, footwear lacings or
similar lacings, other. The rate of duty will be 7.9 percent ad
valorem.
The "glitter/shoelace kit" 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.
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
