RE: The tariff classification of twist ties from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Conner-Duff:
In your letter dated September 29, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise consists of plastic-coated wire on a reel to
be used as twist ties.
The applicable subheading for the twist tie will be
8309.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for seals and other packing accessories.
The rate of duty will be 5.2% 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
