RE: The tariff classification of Pen Type Correction Tape, Stock

Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letter dated March 3, 1997, on behalf of your client
West Texas Lighthouse for the Blind, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample is a correction system consisting of a
disposable plastic pen type cartridge applicator containing a
roll of correction material and a take up roll. The correction
material consists of a white pigment preparation deposited on a
paper tape. The correction preparation is applied by pressing
the applicator tip firmly against the surface of the item to be
corrected and rolling the tip along the surface until the item is
covered; then lifting the applicator tip straight up.
The applicable subheading for the Pen Type Correction Tape,
Stock No. TX-5 will be 3206.49.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States, which provides for Other coloring matter;
preparations as specified in note 3 to this chapter, other than
those of heading 3203, 3204 or 3205; inorganic products of a kind
used as luminophores, whether or not chemically defined: Other
coloring matter and other preparations: Other: Concentrated
dispersions of pigments in plastics materials. The rate of duty
will be 5.9 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
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
