RE: The tariff classification of ponytail holders from France.

Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:

The samples submitted are ponytail holders, style numbers F302, C205, EL4257, and EL4516.

Style number F302 is a textile-covered rubber cord (the rubber was in all cases determined by a simple bench test); the ends are held together with a metal fastener. Style number C205 is constructed of an elastic yarn covered with imitation pearls; the ends are tied together.

Style EL4257 is made of an elastomeric flat braid covered with 100 percent rayon braided fabric; attached onto it is a round plastic ornament. Style number EL4516 is made of textile fabric with rubber threads; attached onto this style is a rectangular-shaped plastic ornament. The ends of both are held together with a metal fastener.

The applicable subheading for the style numbers EL4516 and EL4257 will be 6217.10.8500, HTS, which provides for other made up clothing accessories, parts of garments or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212: Accessories: Other: headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles.
