plastic window, presumable for an identification card. The right
side contains one open pocket. The middle features three metal
rings attached to a metal base. The article is secured by a
strap that has strips similar to the VELCRO brand loop fastener.
The applicable subheading for the "3-ring binder/organizer"
will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other:
Other, other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
