One Park Avenue, 9th Floor New York, NY 10016 RE: The tariff classification of a bed canopy from China. Dear Ms. Yin: In your letter dated October 4, 2005 you requested a classification ruling.  The submitted sample is referred to as the Hello Kitty Balloon Dream Canopy. The canopy is designed to be hung from a ceiling support and drape over a bed. The body of the canopy is made from 100 percent polyester knit mesh fabric. The upper portion of the canopy is made from 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton woven fabric. The fabric is printed with a “Hello Kitty” pattern. The upper portion of the canopy is held open by means of several pieces of polyvinyl chloride tubing. Sewn to the bottom of the upper portion are several woven ties. The ties are used to hold the tube in place. The center of the upper portion features a loop used to hang the canopy from the ceiling support. Although described as a canopy, it is similar in design and construction to a mosquito net. The applicable subheading for the canopy will be 6304.91.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: knitted or crocheted... of man-made fibers.
