Deringer 1010 Niagara Street Buffalo, NY 14213 RE: The tariff classification of a pet throw from The Czech Republic Dear Ms. Hagyard: In your letter dated March 5, 1999, on behalf of your client Celebrity Pet Products, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample is a pet throw constructed by sewing a 100% cotton printed woven fabric to a knit pile fabric. The printed cotton fabric side features scenes of pets at play while the reverse side simulates the look and feel of sheep skin. The throw measures 60 inches by 36 inches and is designed to provide a comfortable and inviting surface for your pet to lounge on and at the same time protect furniture and floors from being soiled by pet hair or dirt. In addition, the throws will protect furniture from being scratched by your pets. The applicable subheading for the pet throw will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...other, other, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem. Your correspondence also requests that we determine the country of origin of this product.
