Dear Ms. Dugan: In your letter dated May 4, 1993, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The first item, style 10094, is described as a polyester fleece ("angel hair"), which is designed to be displayed on a Christmas tree. It is, in fact, a 100% polyester spunbonded nonwoven fabric that has been tinted red. The second item, style 10403, consists of an approximately 3" wide "macrame" ribbon composed of 100% abaca which is considered to be lace construction. The third item, style 10413, is a "macrame" ribbon measuring about 1.5" wide which is also considered to be lace construction. It is composed of 95% abaca and 5% lurex yarn, by weight. The fourth and final item, style 10231, is a decorative braid which is assumed to be in chief weight of metalized strip. It has a hollow core and measures about 3/4" in thickness. It is presumed that styles 10403, 10413 and 10231 are to be imported in continuous lengths. The applicable subheading for style 10094 will be 5603.00.9070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of filaments. The rate of duty will be 12.5 percent ad valorem.
