The sample and information show that the plastic layers are of overwhelmingly greater thickness than the metal foil. The bags are used to package resin.

The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
