RE: The tariff classification of woven labels from China
Dear Ms. Bee:
In your letter dated October 31, 1996 you requested a classification
ruling.
You have enclosed a sample of a rectangular woven label measuring 2.75" x
1.25". It has two selvaged edges and is imprinted with the words "VERSAILLES
boutique" in block letters along with designs. In a phone conversation with
this office you indicated that the labels are 100% polyester.
You have also clarified on the phone that you would like the classification
for these labels whether the labels are imported individually or whether the
labels are imported on rolls.
The applicable subheading for the labels whether in the piece or on rolls
will be 5807.10.0520, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for woven labels of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be
8.8 percent ad valorem.
The labels fall within textile category designation 669. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota
and the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.
If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be
affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements
which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most
current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection
at your local Customs office.
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 Jeff Konzet at 212-466-5885.
Sincerely,
Roger J. Silvestri
