RE: The tariff classification of a blanket from China.
Dear Ms. Merlini:
In your letter dated December 21, 2005 you requested a classification ruling.
You will be importing a travel accessory referred to as the “Planecomfort”. Photos of the item were submitted with your request. It is comprised of a blanket that is stored in a carry pouch. The blanket is made from 100 percent polyester micro fleece fabric. The blanket measures 50 x 60 inches. The carry pouch features a strap and an outside zipper for storing personal items. The carry pouch doubles as a cover for a travel pillow.
The applicable subheading for the “Planecomfort” will be 6301.40.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for blankets and traveling rugs: blankets (other than electric blankets) traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers… other. The duty rate will be 8.5 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 “Planecomfort” falls within textile category designation 666. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
