RE: The tariff classification of fiberglass yarn from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Weber
In your letter dated January 19, 1999, you requested a classification ruling.

By weight, it is of chief weight fiberglass. You state that the yarn will be used to create friction pads. The brass adds strength, the Kevlar and Kylon provide heat resistance properties and the fiberglass provides high temperature resistance. No sample was submitted.
