RE: The tariff classification of "Friendship Bracelets" from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Gore:
In your letter dated January 4, 1991, on behalf of Fisher's
Big Wheel, New Castle, Pennsylvania, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The samples submitted are "Friendship Bracelets." The
articles are constructed of 100 percent polyester braided cord
tied into a loop with a slipknot which can be used to adjust the
size of the loop.
The applicable subheading for the "Friendship Bracelets"will
be 5609.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles of yarn, strip or the like of
heading 5404 or 5405, twine, cordage, rope or cables, not
elsewhere specified or included: of man-made fibers. The rate of
duty will be 9 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
