RE: The tariff classification of a safety patrol belt from China.

Dear Ms. Shoule:

In your letter dated February 8, 2008, on behalf of The Neon Group, you requested a classification ruling. The sample which you submitted is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample is a crossing guard reflective safety patrol belt. The belt is made of woven 100% nylon fabric and has a plastic buckle, and is worn around one shoulder and around the waist. The item is used to identify the safety patrol person.

 The applicable subheading for the safety patrol belt will be 6217.10.9530, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Other made up clothing accessories; parts of garments or of clothing accessories Accessories: Other: Other, Of man-made fibers." The duty rate will be 14.6 percent ad valorem. The textile category designation is 659.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.

For current information regarding possible textile safeguard actions on goods from China and related issues, we refer you to the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel of the Department of Commerce at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kenneth Reidlinger at 646-733-3053.
