RE: The tariff classification of biaxially oriented
polypropylene (BOPP) film from India or Turkey.
Dear Mr. Cuschieri:
In your letter dated July 2, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The BOPP film will be imported in three forms: clear, opaque
and metallized. The film is not printed and it will be imported
in widths of 3" to 62".
The applicable subheading for the clear and opaque film will
be 3920.20.0000, 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 polymers
of propylene. The rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the metallized film will be
3921.90.4050, HTS, which provides for other plates, sheets, film,
foil, and strip, of plastics, other, flexible. The rate of duty
will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheadings 3920.20.0000 and
3921.90.4050, HTS, which are products of Turkey or India, are
entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
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
