RE: The tariff classification of textured nylon yarn from China
Dear Mr. Murray:
In your letter dated Nov. 3, 2014, you requested a tariff classification ruling. No sample accompanied your request.
You describe the yarn in question as follows: single yarns of 100% nylon, textured with a false drawn twist; single-ply, 5-filament, 15-denier. It will be produced in both S and Z twist configurations. You state that it is for industrial use for machine-knitting hosiery as opposed to hand knitting and will be imported on 2- to 10-pound tubes, not in retail packaging.
The applicable subheading for the textured nylon yarn will be 5402.31.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUS), which provides for synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale; textured yarn; of nylon or other polyamides, measuring per single yarn not more than 500 decitex; single yarn. The rate of duty will be 8.8% ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
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 Mitchel Bayer at [email protected].
Sincerely,
