The sheet is available in both self-adhesive and nonadhesive forms. After importation, the sheet will be used in the manufacture of tapes and wound dressings.

The applicable subheading for the nonadhesive polyurethane foam sheet will be 3921.13.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics: cellular, of polyurethane, other. The rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.

The rate of duty will be 5.8 percent ad valorem.

The rate of duty will be 5.8 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
