RE: The tariff classification of seven decorative ribbons, from either Taiwan or China.
Dear Ms. Wooley:
In your letter dated December 4, 2013, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You submitted seven representative samples which were not identified as to style or quality number. All of these ribbons are of a woven construction and vary in width from 3/8" to 1½". They are composed of 100 percent polyester man-made fibers and, according to your letter, contain a woven selvedge. Five of the ribbons are of a solid color and two of them contain a printed motif.
The applicable subheading for all seven ribbons, which you indicate will be imported on spools measuring 50 to 100 yards in length, will be 5806.32.1030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for … other narrow woven fabrics, … ribbons, of a width not exceeding 12 cm, of polyester, with woven selvedge. The rate of duty will be 6 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
The merchandise in question may be subject to antidumping duties or countervailing duties. Written decisions regarding the scope of AD/CVD orders are issued by the Import Administration in the Department of Commerce and are separate from tariff classification and origin rulings issued by Customs and Border Protection. You can contact them at http://www.trade.gov/ia/ (click on “Contact Us”). For your information, you can view a list of current AD/CVD cases at the United States International Trade Commission website at http://www.usitc.gov (click on “Antidumping and countervailing duty investigations”), and you can search AD/CVD deposit and liquidation messages using the AD/CVD Search tool at http://addcvd.cbp.gov/
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Deborah Walsh at (646) 733-3044.
Sincerely,
