RE: The tariff classification of a polyester hair twister or ponytail
holder, style #SE-RB, from South Korea.
Dear Ms. Dugan:
In your letter dated May 24, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective import, style #SE-RB, consists of an elastic band
with ruffled polyester material on both sides of the band. It is used
as a ponytail holder.
The applicable subheading for the ponytail holder will be
9615.19.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the like: of textile
materials. The rate of duty will be 11 percent ad valorem.
Each ponytail holder should be marked as clearly, legibly or
indelibly as possible with the proper country of origin.
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
