RE: The tariff classification of a Santa wall hanging from China

Dear Ms. O'Beirn:

In your letter dated November 6, 1995 you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted a textile wall hanging that measures approximately 40 centimeters square. It is made from 100 percent cotton woven fabric and has a rod pocket along the top edge. A rod with a hang string is inserted in this pocket. There is a Santa-like face appliqued to the center of this wall hanging. Four approximately 7 centimeter squares are appliqued near the four corners. This two dimensional depiction of Santa is not considered a festive article and will be classified as a textile furnishing.

The applicable subheading for the wall hanging will be 6304.92.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: not knitted or crocheted, of cotton. The duty rate will be 7.1 percent ad valorem.

The wall hanging falls within textile category designation 369. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 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 John Hansen at 212-466-5854.

Sincerely,

Roger J. Silvestri
Director
