RE: The tariff classification of a ponytail holder from China

Dear Mr. Ling:

In your letter dated October 17, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc., of City of Industry, California.

The submitted sample is identified as a “bovine leather ponytail holder,” item number J80087. It is constructed of a textile covered elastic cord with a decorated leather “flower” that measures approximately 2“ x 2” x 1”.

The applicable subheading for the ponytail holder, if the core is made of man-made fibers, will be 5609.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles of yarn, twine, cordage, rope, or cable: Of man-made fibers, not elsewhere specified or included: Of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the ponytail holder, if the core is made of rubber, will be 5609.00.4000, HTS, which provides for articles of yarn, twine, cordage, rope, or cables, not elsewhere specified or included: Other. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.

The sample will be returned as requested.
