Dear Ms. Cooper:

In your letter dated February 13, 2008, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted samples are identified as shoe clips.

The bow is glued to a round polyurethane piece and a metal clip is sewn to that piece. The “Black Bow Shoe Clip” (Item# 30235) is a black satin bow that has a black button that is sewn and glued to its center. The bow is glued to a round polyurethane piece and a metal clip is sewn to that piece. The “Sweetheart Shoe Clip” (Item# 30605) is a metal jewel piece in the shape of a heart with pink rhinestones glued to the center of a marabou (feathers).

The applicable subheading for the Apple Shoe Clip (Item# 30589) and the Black Bow Shoe Clip (Item# 30235) will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7% ad valorem.

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/.
