RE: The tariff classification of polyethylene terephthalate film
from Korea.
Dear Mr. Levine:
In your letter dated January 4, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted with your letter is film made of
polyethylene terephthalate. It is coated with a polyethylene
layer measuring 30 microns in thickness. The polyethylene
coating allows for temperature adhesion so that the film may be
heat sealed.
The applicable subheading for the film will be 3920.62.0000,
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 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
