The submitted sample, identified as Item #6027-1024, is a decorative flag that is constructed of 100 percent nylon fabric. It measures approximately 39” high by 14¾” wide and depicts the character Jack from the Disney movie “Nightmare before Christmas.” It has a double-sided design meant to be seen and read from both sides. You ask if this item can be considered a Festive article of Chapter 95, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS).

The applicable subheading for the textile flag will be 6307.90.9889, HTS, which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem. The sample will be returned as requested. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
