   RE:  Modification of HQ 087993; Polypropylene strip; Strip;
        Twine, cordage or string; Articles of plastics; Further
        worked.
   Dear Mr. Golla:
        On December 20, 1990, this office issued HQ 087993,
   regarding the classification of "string" under the Harmonized
   Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA).
   Since that time, we have determined that the ruling contains
   an error and should be modified as set out below.
        In the paragraph found under the heading "FACTS" we
   stated that the apparent average width of the merchandise was
   observed when the string was unfolded.  This is incorrect.
   The measurements set out in HQ 087993 were those of the folded
   product.  Therefore, the words "When unfolded," should be
   deleted from the paragraph.
        This modification will not change the analysis or
   classification of the imported merchandise.
Sincerely,
                                      John A. Durant
