RE: The tariff classification of ponytailers from China
Dear Mr. Crago:
In your letter dated September 11, 2008, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted samples are two selections of twenty-four ponytailers (Item Numbers A11F3161 and A11F3163). Each selection features eight different styles with three pieces per style. The items measure approximately 1½” in diameter and 1/4” in width and are constructed of a synthetic rubber core that is sheathed with braided polyester textile fabric. The ends are joined by an iron ferrule.
The applicable subheading for the ponytailers will be 5609.00.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for articles of yarn, twine, cordage, rope, or cables, not elsewhere specified, other. The rate of duty will be 3.9% ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
The samples will be returned as requested.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mitchel Bayer at (646) 733-3102.
Sincerely,
