In your letter dated July 16, 2007, on behalf of J K Marketing dba Metal Creations, you requested a tariff classification ruling on two styles of jean chains. A sample of each style of jean chain was submitted for our review.

The merchandise is two styles of jean chains, item numbers JCM-08 and JCM-13. Each item is made of zinc alloy and iron. Item number JCM-08 is a gold-toned jean chain that features rings, skulls, two split wire rings, and one swivel snap hook at each end of the chain. It is composed of 202.5 grams of zinc alloy and 32.7 grams of iron. The gold-toned chain measures approximately 30 inches in length. Item number JCM-13 is a silver-toned jean chain that features links, skulls, two split wire rings, and one swivel snap hook at each end of the chain. It is composed of 142 grams of zinc alloy and 10.1 grams of iron. The silver-toned chain measures approximately 25 inches in length. You indicate that the chains are designed to be worn on a belt or a belt loop.

The applicable subheading for the jean chains will be 7907.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of zinc, other. The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.
