RE: The tariff classification of polyurethane elastomeric tape from Japan.

Dear Mr. Mann:

In your letter dated February 3, 1998, on behalf of Tecnol, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Two are clear and one is blue. The samples are said to vary in thickness from 0.12 millimeter to 0.24 millimeter.

The applicable subheading for the polyurethane elastomeric tape will be 3920.99.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, other.
