RE: The tariff classification of a decorative tassel, from India.
Dear Ms. Pome:
In your letter dated May 24, 1993, on behalf of Orchid Trim Inc., you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
The instant sample, identified as style #5501, consists of a decorative
tassel composed of metallic threads. The fringe portion of the tassel
measures about 3" in length and the metallic cord for hanging also measures
approximately the same length.
The applicable subheading for the tassel will be 5808.90.0090,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
ornamental trimmings in the piece, tassels... and similar articles. The
rate of duty will be 7.8 percent ad valorem.
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
