RE: The tariff classification of yarns from China, Turkey and Peru

Dear Ms. Morrison:

In your letter dated September 11, 2017, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Orchard Yarn.

You submitted four samples of yarns, #215 Feels Like Butta, #473 LBC Jumbo Alpaca Blend, #918 Baby Soft Boucle, #3000 London Kaye Yarn Bombing.

The first yarn sample, #215 Feels Like Butta, is composed of 100 percent polyester, with a weight of 100 grams and made in China.

Sample two, #473 LBC Jumbo Alpaca Blend, is composed of a blend of 43 percent alpaca, 43 percent merino wool and 14 percent polyamide, weighs 250 grams and made in Peru. The third sample, #918 Baby Soft Boucle, is composed of 100 percent polyester, weighs 100 grams and made in Turkey.
