RE: The tariff classification of polyethylene terephthalate film
from Japan.
Dear Ms. Clausen:
In your letter dated December 17, 1990, on behalf of DaiEi
Papers (U.S.A.) Corp., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is bi-axially
stretched offset printing film. In its imported condition, it is
not printed.
The applicable subheading for the PET film will be
3920.62.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and
strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced, laminated,
supported or similarly combined with other materials, of
polyethylene terephthalate. The rate of duty will be 4.2 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
Area Director
