In your letter dated June 29, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The instant sample is a decorative tubular braid that measures .31" in diameter and 20 yards in length.

Please note that if such is not the case, it can have a material effect on the final classification of this merchandise.
The applicable subheading for the braid, 80% polyester monofilament and 20% polyester strip, will be 5808.10.7000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for … braids in the piece, …, of cotton or man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 7.4 percent 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/.
