RE: The tariff classification of a bed canopy set, from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Ortiz:
In your letter dated May 7, 1993, on behalf of Allure Home
Creations, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The subject item, identified as style #202386, consists of a
bed canopy set comprised of a two piece curtain like bed canopy
which is of knit construction and is composed of 100% polyester
man-made fibers. The set also includes two tie backs of
polyester construction and various metal parts which will be used
for hanging the canopy.
The applicable subheading for the product will be
6303.12.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for curtains .. and interior blinds;
curtain or bed valances: knitted or crocheted: of synthetic
fibers. The rate of duty will be 12.8 percent ad valorem.
This merchandise falls within textile category designation
666. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Taiwan are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa. The
quota quantity will be assessed on the net weight of the bed
canopy set (textile canopy, tie backs and metal hardware) less
the weight of the packing.
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.
Your sample is being returned herewith.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
