RE: The tariff classification of a support belt from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Ehme:
In your letter dated March 7, 1994, on behalf of Consolidated
Stores Corp., Columbus, Ohio, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The sample submitted is a wrap-around support belt with
suspenders. It is made of elastic knit fabric with four vertical
stays. Each tapered end section has hook and loop fabric. The
belt also has two elastic fabric outer-bands, each of which is sewn
at one end to the rear center. The bands extend around either side
and with hook and loop end taps to provide additional tension
adjustment for the wearer. The adjustable elasticized suspenders
are permanently attached.
The applicable subheading for the support belt will be
6307.90.9986, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other: Other,
other. The rate of duty will be 7 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
