RE: The tariff classification of a wall hanging from China.
Dear Mr. Bartee:
In your letter dated February 22, 1993 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted item, identified in your letter as Dove Shalom
Hanger item no. 510363, is a wall hanging. It is comprised of
cardboard cut into the shape of letters and a dove, with a sponge
stuffing which is covered with textile. The textile portion is
made of 100 percent nylon woven fabric. The letters which form
the word "Shalom" and the dove are held together with a nylon
braid. On the top portion of dove is a loop made of gold
metallized yarn, which is used to hang the item from a wall.
The applicable subheading for the wall hanging will be
6304.93.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding
those of heading 9404: other: not knitted or crocheted, of
synthetic fibers. The rate of duty will be 10.6 percent ad
valorem.
The wall hanging falls within textile category designation
666. Based upon international trade agreements, products of
China are subject to visa and quota restrictions.
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
