RE: The tariff classification of a leather boot shaft from China.

Dear Ms.Weiss-Fox:

You state that the leather shaft is used with any ankle boot (bootie) to give the appearance of a knee-high boot. You also have provided a leather ankle boot to show how the shaft would sit on top of the boot to give this appearance. The shaft will be sold separately.

We are returning the samples as requested.
