RE: The tariff classification of a headband from China.

Dear Ms. Caruso:

In your letter dated January 12, 1995, on behalf of Longrise Trading Ltd., you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample is a crocheted headband consisting of 55% raime and 45% cotton. The item is used to pull hair away from your face.

The applicable subheading for the crocheted headband will be 6117.80.9070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted; knitted or crocheted parts of garments or of clothing accessories: Other Accessoires: Other, other. The rate of duty will be 15.4 percent ad valorem.

The headband falls within textile category designation 859. As a product of China this particular item is subject to visa and exempt certificate requirements.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. It so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of international bilateral aggrements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes to obtain the most current informantion 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 Regulatiions (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 the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
New York Seaport
