RE: The tariff classification of "Dock Lines" from Canada.
Dear Ms. Wnuk:
In your letter dated July 10, 1991, on behalf of Bridgeline
Ropes, Belleville, Ontario, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
Two samples were submitted, both referred to as "Dock
Lines." One is constructed of braided nylon cordage and the
other is composed of twisted nylon cordage. Both articles have a
loop at one end and measure approximately 10 feet long.
The applicable subheading for the "Dock Lines" 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.
Goods classifiable under subheading 5609.00.3000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
6.3 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) 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
