RE: The admissibility of vicuna wool and products thereof into the United States, from Peru.

Dear Mr. Castro:

In your letter dated January 28, 1998, you requested a ruling.

You state that you wish to import vicuna wool into the United States and ask if there are any restrictions. You further inquire about importing products of such wool into the U.S.

We cannot rule upon the tariff classification of products of vicuna wool without an actual sample and additional information. Please refer to attached NY Regional Informational Pipeline #1688 which concerns the procedures for requesting a binding ruling from the U.S. Customs Service.

With respect to the admissibility of vicuna wool or such products derived thereof, the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife stipulates that the vicuna is still on the Endangered Species List. Under certain situations a permit may be issued. If you think that you may meet the criteria for the issuance of a special permit, you are directed to contact the following office at the address indicated below:

U.S. Department of the Interior
Office of Management Authority
4401 N. Fairfax Drive, Room 700
Arlington, VA 22203

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 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 George Barth at 212-466-5884

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
