Dear Mr. Cooke:

In your letter dated December 17, 1996 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Your ruling request concerns the classification of six types of engineered Kevlar elastomers. The products are composed of 23 percent Kevlar, an aramid pulp fiber and 77 percent of either a natural or synthetic rubber. Kevlar types 6F723, 6F735 and 6F819 consist of Kevlar and Neoprene; Kevlar type 6F722 consists of Kevlar and natural rubber; Kevlar 6F724 consists of Kevlar and styrene-butadiene rubber; Kevlar type 6F770 consists of Kevlar and acrylonitrile butadiene-rubber. The products are imported in crumb form for use in the manufacture of a wide variety of products such as: automotive and industrial v-belts, conveyor belts, timing belts, hoses, seals, etc. The Kevlar elastomers are compounded rubber.

The applicable subheading for the above types of Kevlar elastomers will be 4005.99.0000 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for compounded rubber, unvulcanized, in primary forms or in plate, sheets or strip: other. The rate of duty will be free.

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