Dear Ms. Krupskas: In your letter dated April 14, 2005, on behalf of your client Horizon Fabrics, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples are being returned as requested. Three samples of embroidered trimmings accompanied your request for a ruling. Style G-19413 is an embroidered motif created by stitching glass and plastic beads as well as gimped yarn to a base fabric. The decorative yarn has been gimped with a Lurex type metalized strip and then sewn to the base fabric creating a stylized floral design. The base fabric is a sheer lightweight plain woven fabric composed of 100% filament nylon. The irregularly shaped motif measures approximately 3 inches by 5 inches. The motif is a decorative element that is designed to be appliquéd onto items of apparel. The applicable subheading for the embroidered motif designated as style G-19413 will be 5810.92.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs, other embroidery, of man-made fibers, badges, emblems and motifs. The duty rate will be 4.2 percent ad valorem. Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on styles G-19414 and G-19415.
