RE: The tariff classification of carpet scraps from various
European countries.
Dear Ms. Quadrino:
In your letter dated November 16, 1998 you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of Allied Signal, Inc.
The merchandise is post-industrial carpet waste called nylon
6 waste. Allied Signal plans to import this waste to extract
caprolactum from it. The scrap is sorted and baled overseas and
then shipped to the U.S.
The applicable subheading for the waste will be
6310.10.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for used or new rags, sorted: other, of
man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be Free.
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 Camille
Ferraro at 212-466-5885.
Sincerely,
