RE: The tariff classification of a rain hat from China. Correction to Ruling Number N068863
Dear Ms. Pendris:
This replaces Ruling Number N068863, dated August 13, 2009, which contained a typographical error. The classification should have begun with 6506, we erroneously began the classification 6505, which created a nonexistent HTS number. A complete corrected ruling follows.
Style SKU 52086 is a rain hat which you refer to as No Mess Rain Wrap. The rain hat is made of clear 100 percent PVC material, two to a package. The hat has an eight inch brim and offers full protection against wind and rain. The item extends to the neck and has ties for a secure fit.
The applicable subheading for the rain hat SKU 52086 will be 6506.91.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Other headgear, whether or not lined or trimmed: Other: Of rubber or plastics: Other.” The duty rate will be Free.
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/. 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 Kenneth Reidlinger at (646) 733-3053.
