It is used for the protection of horses hooves. The item is used for strapping around a horse's hoof. The hook and loop closure holds the boot in place and the nobule on the inside stops the boot from rotating. The boots are manufactured in various sizes and for the left or right hoof. The applicable subheading for the Over Reach Boot will be 4201.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddles bags, dog coats and the like), of any material: Other." The rate of duty will be 3.1% ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). 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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 212-466-5881. Sincerely, Robert B. Swierupski Director, National Commodity Specialist Division
