RE: The tariff classification of straps that are used solely as
parts of luggage carts from France
Dear Ms. Varrone Mirga:
In your letter dated October 2, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You submitted a sample of the strap, the luggage cart to
which the strap is attached, and product literature depicting the
strap attached to the luggage cart.
The strap is composed of a flat elasticized textile
material. In its imported condition, the strap has been measured
and cut to length, and has been sewn together to form a
continuous loop. The ends of the strap have been treated to
prevent fraying.
The applicable subheading for the strap will be
8716.90.5060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Trailers and semi-trailers; other
vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof: Parts:
Other...Other. The rate of duty will be 3.1%.
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 Robert
DeSoucey at 212-466-5667.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
