RE: The tariff classification of netting samples from Italy
Dear Ms. Fisher:
In your letter dated March 25, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You are requesting the classification on fabric that will be imported in bales and also on pre-cut fabric that will be used in two different ways: as an enclosure for a batting cage, and as panels for a jumper unit or fairground amusement. The fabrics that will be imported in bales are identified as Sample # 1 and sample # 2 and are available in three widths: 44 inches in square mesh, 136 inches in square mesh, and +/- 546 inches in diamond configuration. The pre-cut, finished panels are identified as Sample A and Sample B. Sample A has a rope border and Sample B has a webbing border with grommets. The letter indicates that both may be used for the netting in a batting cage enclosure. A sample of the cut panels for the inflatable jumper unit was not submitted, however a colored illustration was submitted of the panels already installed in the jumper unit. You have not requested the return of your samples.
The applicable subheading for the finished panels for the inflatable jumper unit (fairground amusement) will be 9508.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for merry-go-rounds, boat-swings, shooting galleries and other fairground amusements...parts and accessories thereof: other.

The rate of duty will be 7 % ad valorem.
