Dear Mr. Simpson: In your letter dated March 12, 2003, on behalf of Valley Forge Sports, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted is a mosquito mitt. It is made of two textile panels. The exterior panel is made of a pile textile fabric. The interior panel is constructed of knit fabric. The two panels are sewn together to resemble a mitten with a separate thumb enclosure. Sewn around the top is a knit fabric cuff. A woven textile bag is sewn around the cuff area of the mitt. The bag extends over the remainder of the mitt and is closed at the open end with a plastic zip lock closure. The applicable subheading for the mosquito mitt will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles . . . Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem. Articles classifiable under subheading 6307.90.9889, HTS, which are products of Indonesia, are currently entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
