RE: The tariff classification of a Retractable Clothesline from
Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Alberdi:
In your letter dated December 30, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample is a retractable clothesline. It is
composed of an eight foot length of nylon cord which retracts
into a dome shaped plastic cover with a metal back. The article
is designed to be anchored onto a wall.
The applicable subheading for the retractable clothesline
will be 5609.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for articles of 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
