In your letter dated September 4, 2007, you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted five representative samples of narrow width, ornamental products that you indicate will be imported in continuous lengths.

The first item, style 1427019002, consists of a narrow woven material (about ½" wide) which is composed of a rayon man-made fiber/cotton blend that has sewn along its length small aluminum disks which are embossed to resemble real coins. You state that the material composition by weight is 59% aluminum/26% cotton/14% glass/1% rayon. The aluminum disks impart the essential character to the item.

The second item, identified as style 1846013061, consists of a narrow width material that you indicate is made on a crocheting machine.
