The tariff classification of perfumed drawer-liner paper and sachets, from China.
Issued November 28, 2003 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Tariff classification
HTS codes: 4811.90.8000, 3307.90.0000
Product description
It is a retail box containing six identical “drawer liners” and one “free” sachet, included as a bonus. Each drawer liner is a 17½” x 24” rectangular sheet of scented paper, printed on one side with a repetitive design. The papers are not coated and do not have an adhesive surface. Based on our examination, it is assumed that the papers weigh more than 30 grams per square meter. The accompanying sachet is a small, sealed satin-fabric bag (approximately 2½” x 3”) containing unidentified scented material. Since the sachet and the papers would not necessarily be used together, they will be classified separately.
