RE: The tariff classification of woven polypropylene sheets from
Brazil, India, and South Korea.
Dear Mr. Rastogi:
In your letter dated January 31, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The product in question is described as follows:
Woven polypropylene sheets of mesh construction 5 x 5, 800D to
1000D, with clear, white, or black strips. The width of the
strips exceeds 5 mm. The polypropylene sheets will be imported
in rolls with widths of 48", 60", 72", 84", 85", and 96". The
imported polypropylene sheets will have a clear plastic coating
on one or both sides.
A sample composed of strips under 5 mm in width has been
submitted only to show the type of coating used in the product in
question. An actual sample of the subject merchandise is not
available.
The applicable subheading for the coated polypropylene
sheets will be 4602.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other basketwork,
wickerwork and other articles, made directly to shape from
plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601.
The duty rate will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 4602.90.0000, HTS,
which are products of India or Brazil 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
