Dear Mr. Cigarroa:
In your letter dated June 2, 1998, on behalf of Dolgencorp Inc.,

countertops, pots and pan, etc. The scrubbers are packed two in a blister pack.
They are made of a foam plastic covered with open-work knit fabric on one side
and terry cloth fabric on the other. The scouring mitt is made of two panels.
One panel is constructed of foam plastic covered on the exterior surface with
open-work knit fabric. The other panel is composed of a nonwoven fabric. The
two panels are sewn together with a knit fabric binder around three sides.
The applicable subheading for the scrubbers and scouring mitt will be
6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other made up articles...Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent
ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
