RE: The Tariff Classification of a Babies’ Acrylic Fiber Plush Diaper Cover from

Dear Mr. Rayman:
In your letter dated January 17, 2001, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The sample submitted, Style Number TB004G, is an Acrylic Plush Fiber Diaper Cover. This item features elastic at the waist and around the leg openings. Two large Velcro closures are placed at the waist above each leg opening. The back of the diaper cover forms the face of a bear complete with ears, plastic eyes, and a polyester filled snout. The Diaper Cover will be imported in Babies’ size range 6-30 months. The sample will be returned to you as requested.
The applicable subheading for the Babies’ Acrylic Plush Fiber Diaper Cover will be

Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web Site at WWW.CUSTOMS.GOV. In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.
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.
