RE: The tariff classification of a ponytail holder from China
Dear Ms. Trotta:
In your letter dated December 21, 2018, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted a sample, item #2341403A048, Scunci™ Girl 18-piece Ponytailers, which you state are composed of 53.33 percent nylon and 46.67 percent rubber. The items measure one half inch in width, are knitted with a textured design, and are circular in shape with no seams. Eighteen scunci are packed and sold on a retail blister card. They are used to gather and hold hair in a ponytail style.
We assume from the sample, the fabric is manufactured on a circular knitting machine which makes tubular fabric. After the fabric is made it is cut into one half inch wide strips, with no overlock stiches or heat sealed edges. Therefore according to the terms of Section XI, Note 7(a), Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), the item is considered "made up" for tariff purposes.
The applicable subheading for item #2341403A048, Scunci™ Girl 18-piece Ponytailers, will be 6307.90.9889, HTSUS, which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7 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 the World Wide Web at

The sample will be returned.
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 Adleasia Lonesome via email at [email protected].
