Dear Ms. Workentin: In your letter dated August 19, 1994, on behalf of Executive Security Services Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling. Rolls of PVC sheet are exported from the United States to Canada. In Canada, the sheet is manufactured into luminescent directional and warning signs. A sample sign was submitted with your letter. The sign consists of a picture of a yellow arrow on a green background. The sample sign is self-adhesive. You state that some of the signs will not be self-adhesive. No words are printed on the sample sign. If any of the signs are printed with words, the classification will be affected.
