The submitted sample, item #BBLT, is a belt consisting of woven man made fiber and elastic fabric. The front closure consists of leather and a metal buckle. The belt will be used for baseball and soft ball uniforms. The applicable subheading for item #BBLT will be 6217.10.9530, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Other made up clothing accessories; parts of garment or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212: Accessories: Other: Other, Of man-made fibers."
