RE: The tariff classification of a child's high-top shoe from China.

Dear Ms. Wilde:

This classification decision under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) is being issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

DATE OF INQUIRY : February 21, 1991

DESCRIPTION OF
MERCHANDISE : A child's high-top shoe, your Pattern C4942-10, with a functionally stitched plastic upper, a thick textile fleece lining that is turned out at the top to form a white 1 1/4 inch wide textile cuff, a stitched-on decorative metal side buckle with a plastic strap, a five eyelet lace closure and a cemented-on rubber/plastic outer sole. By our measurements, we have determined that the external surface area of the upper, with all accessories and reinforcements included, is less than 90 percent rubber or plastics.
