Dear Ms. Massa: In your letter dated February 15, 2006, on behalf of Lupine Inc., Conway, NH, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for the dog collar and leash will be 4201.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like), of any material: Dog leashes, collars, muzzles, harnesses and similar dog equipment.
