RE: The tariff classification of self-adhesive paper labels from China
Dear Ms. Awana:
In your letter dated July 1, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, LC Landmark Corp.
The ruling was requested on self-adhesive paper labels. Two representative samples identified as, “laser/inkjet” and “direct thermal” were submitted for our review. The samples will be retained for future reference.
The “laser/inkjet” sample is a self-adhesive, non-printed paper label. Each individual label measures approximately 8 ½” (L) x 5 ½” (W). The labels will be imported in rolls measuring approximately 4233’ (L) x 8 ½” (W).
The “direct thermal” sample is a self-adhesive, non-printed paper label. Each individual label measures approximately 6” (L) x 4” (W). The labels will be imported in rolls measuring approximately 4233’ (L) x 12” (W).
The applicable subheading for the self-adhesive paper labels will be 4821.90.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Paper and paperboard labels of all kinds, whether or not printed: Other: Self-adhesive. The rate of duty 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 Laurel Duvall at [email protected].
