RE: The tariff classification of "heat transfer labels" (decals)
from the Bahamas.
Dear Mr. Wagner:
In your letter dated July 31, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Samples were submitted and will be retained for reference.
They are small rectangular sheets of clear plastic film which have
been printed with multicolored product logos intended to be placed
onto appliances, containers and the like. The printed images can
be transferred to chosen surfaces by means of pressure and heat,
whereupon the spent carrier sheets can be discarded.
The applicable subheading for the "heat transfer labels" will
be 4908.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for printed transfers (decalcomanias), other
than vitrifiable. The rate of duty will be 12.3 cents per
kilogram.
Articles classifiable under subheading 4908.90.0000, HTS,
which are products of the Bahamas are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA)
upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
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 Carl Abramowitz, at (212) 466-5733.
