RE: The tariff classification of a plastic body sponge from China.

Dear Ms. Liu:

In your letter dated April 28, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample is identified as item #C08D0100, a Bath Mesh Strap. The plastic material is extruded in a mesh-like construction. The mesh is then gathered together and looped in a fashion creating a strap with the body of a small stuffed animal figure attached to each end. The shell fabric of the stuffed animal figure is made of terry cloth. The mesh strap also has a braided cord attached to each end for holding while bathing. Your letter of inquiry states that this article will be imported in three assorted styles, a dog, a bear and a horse.

The sample is returned as you requested.

The applicable subheading for the plastic body sponge will be 3924.90.5500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides forother household articles and toilet articles, of plastics, other, other. The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.
