The applicable subheading for this product will be 5503.10.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Synthetic staple fibers, not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning: Of nylon . . .: Other.” The general rate of duty will be 4.3 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R.). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mitchel Bayer at 646-733-3102. Sincerely, Robert B. Swierupski Director, National Commodity Specialist Division
