RE: Knit scarf-tube; funnel; DD 857257 revoked.
Dear Mr. Montesino:
This is to advise you of a change in the classification of
women's knit scarf-tubes, or funnels, as a result of the decision
in Headquarters Ruling Letter (HRL) 087177 dated October 2, 1990,
a copy of which is enclosed. As a result of this ruling, funnels
are classifiable in subheading 6505.90.6080, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA) rather than in
subheading 6117.80.0025, HTSUSA, as stated in DD 857257, issued
to you on October 25, 1990.
Accordingly, we are revoking DD 857257 pursuant to 19 CFR
177.9(d)(1). This revocation will not be applied retroactively
to DD 857257 (19 CFR 177.9(d)(2)) and will not, therefore,
affect past transactions under that ruling. However, for the
purposes of future transactions in merchandise of this type, DD
857257 will not be valid precedent. We recognize that pending
transactions may be adversely affected by this revocation, in
that current contracts for importations arriving at a port
subsequent to this decision will be classified pursuant to it.
If such a situation arises, you may apply for relief from the
binding effects of this decision as may be warranted by the
circumstances. Please be advised that in some instances
involving import restraints, such relief may require separate
approvals from other government agencies.
Sincerely,
John Durant, Director
Commercial Rulings Division
