The attached metal hooks make the webbing more than a narrow fabric. The “Flat Elastic Webbing” is a made up article. The applicable subheading for the “Flat Elastic Webbing” will be 6307.90.9989, HTS, which provides for other made up articles . . . Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
