Dear Ms. Dunn: In your letter dated October 12, 1993 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample is a cat collar. The "tenth life" collar is a reflective, adjustable, break away cat collar. The item consists of nylon webbing or elastic with a reflective film on top. It has a plastic buckle and glide and a steel rectangular D- ring. The collar is used for cat identification and as a safety device to increase a cats visibility at night to automobiles.

The rate of duty will be 2.4 percent ad valorem. Goods classifiable under subheading 4201.00.3000 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a free rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
