You have submitted a sample of a curtain tieback pin, style number BPS-1525. The sample will be returned to you as requested. The pin is used by pressing it through the curtains and then into the wall to hold the curtains back. It is made of iron but completely covered in acrylic beads which imparts the essential character of the pin. The applicable subheading for the beaded curtain tieback pin will be 3926.90.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Other articles of plastics: Imitation Gemstones”. The duty rate will be 2.8% ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
