RE: The tariff classification of a "Rosette", "Doily" and a
"Hanging Decoration" from China.
Dear Mr. McKelvey:
In your letter dated April 6, 1995, on behalf of TSE &
Patten, Minneapolis, Minnesota, you requested a classification
ruling.
The samples submitted are referred to as a "Rosette",
"Doily" and a "Hanging Decoration". The "Rosette" is a hand
crocheted cotton lace motif in the form of a flower with an
imitation pearl attached onto the center. It measures
approximately 4 centimeters in diameters. It is used on candles,
dry flowers or sewn on chairs.
The "Doily" is a pouch made of cotton woven fabric sewn on
three sides. It is decorated with lace fabric sewn onto one
side. It measures approximately 9.5 centimeters by 8.5
centimeters. It is used for holding potpourri.
The "Hanging Decoration" is made of cotton crocheted lace
fabric in the form of a snowflake. It measures approximately 9.5
centimeters in diameter. Attached is a textile ribbon loop which
allows the article to be hung on a door or a window.
The applicable subheading for the "Rosette" and "Doily" will
be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other: Other,
other. The duty rate will be 7 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the "Hanging Decoration" will
be 6304.91.0020, HTS, which provides for other furnishing
articles, excluding those of heading 9404: Other: Knitted or
crocheted: Of cotton. The duty rate will be 10.9 percent ad
valorem.
The "Hanging Decoration" falls within textile category
designation 369. Based upon international textile trade
agreements products of China are subject to quota and the
requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
