RE: The tariff classification of a nylon type 6 yarn from China
Dear Mr. Murray:
In your letter dated October 7, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling. No samples were submitted with your request.
You describe the yarn in question as a 100% nylon type 6, textured, single yarn, 7 filaments and having a denier of 20. You state say that yarn is used in the commercial hosiery industry and will be imported on paper tubes weighing approximately 4 kilos. According to the terms of Note 4 to Section XI, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), the yarns do not meet the definition of “put up for retail sale.”
The applicable subheading for the nylon type 6 yarn will be 5402.31.3000, HTSUS, which provides for “Synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex: Textured yarn: Of nylon or other polyamides, measuring per single yarn not more than 500 decitex: Single yarn.” The rate of duty will be 8.8 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 the 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 Adleasia Lonesome at [email protected].
