RE: The tariff classification of plastic film from Korea.
Dear Mr. Kuhns:
In your letter dated September 10, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Samples of four types of plastic film were included with
your request. All consist of a layer of polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) laminated to a layer of polyethylene. The
film will be imported on 3 inch fiber core rolls, and will
measure approximately 2 to 3 feet in length and 4 to 11 inches in
width.
Classification will depend on the polymer which predominates
by weight. The applicable subheading for the film when in chief
weight of the polyethylene will be 3920.10.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics,
noncellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly
combined with other materials, of polymers of ethylene. The rate
of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the film when in chief weight
of the PET will be 3920.62.0000, HTS, which provides for other
plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, noncellular
and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined
with other materials, of polyethylene terephthalate. The rate of
duty will be 4.2 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
