RE: The tariff classification of note sheet trays from China

Dear Ms. Aron:

In your letter dated December 1, 2004 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The ruling was requested on a note sheet tray made of wood fiberboard and covered with polyurethane. In addition, you also requested a ruling on an identical note sheet tray made of recycled cardboard and covered with polyurethane. A sample was submitted for our examination and will be returned to you as you requested. The sample was cut in order to determine the composition of the polyurethane.

The sample consists of an open tray with one concave side, measuring approximately 6-3/4” x 4-3/4” x 7/8”. The sample tray is made of cardboard and is completely covered with a black vinyl-like material, the polyurethane. The polyurethane covering is a non-cellular plastic backed with a knit fabric. This construction is considered a textile for tariff purposes. The tray also has a velvet-like mat on the bottom

The applicable subheading for the note sheet tray made of cardboard and covered with a textile material will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The duty rate will be 7 percent ad valorem.

Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on the note sheet tray made of wood fiberboard. Your request for a classification ruling should include a sample of this product. When this information is available, you may wish to consider resubmission of your request.
