Two sizes of mono- filaments, with cross-section diameters of 1.55 and 1.45 mm respectively, are said to be present in equal measure. The ends of the mat have a sewn-on trimming, while the other edges are simply hemmed. The applicable subheading for the above-described plastic floor mat will be 4602.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F.
