RE: The tariff classification of Headdresses from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Kimball:

In your letter dated October 15, 1999 you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples were submitted with your request. Item 82219, identified as Nute Gunray Deluxe Headdress is composed of corduroy textile fabric trimmed with piping. The headdress is tall without a crown and has three peaks. Item 82220, identified as Rune Haako Deluxe Headdress is composed of knit man-made fiber fabric. This headdress resembles a hat, has two long peaks with a metal bead on each peak. A mask does not accompany the items.

The applicable subheading for the Rune Haako Deluxe Headdress, Item 82220 will be 6505. 90.60 90, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Hats and other headgear, knitted or crocheted, or made up form lace, felt or other textiles fabric, in the piece (but mot in strips), whether or not lined or trimmed; hair-nets of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed: Other: Of man-made fibers: Knitted or crocheted or made up from knitted or crocheted fabric: Not in part of braid, Other: Other: Other.” The duty rate will be 29.8 cents/kg + 10.6% ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the Nute Gunray Deluxe Headdress, Item 82219 will be 6505.90.90.8050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Hats and other headgear, knitted or crocheted,whether or not lined or trimmed: Other: Of man-made fibers: Other: Not in part of braid, Other: Other: Visors, and other headgear which provides no covering for the crown of the head. The duty rate will be 20.4 cents/kg + 7.4% ad valorem.

Items 82219 and 82220 fall within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web site at www.customs.gov. In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 212-637-7084.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
