NY M87203 October 26, 2006 CLA-2-94:RR:NC:SP:233 M87203 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 9403.70.8010 Mr. Troy D. Crago Atico International USA, Inc. 501 South Andrews Avenue Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 RE: The tariff classification of a magazine holder from China. Dear Mr. Crago: In your letter dated October 6, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. A sample was provided with your letter. The magazine holder (Item Number: C035AA03349) consists of a cardboard base covered with cellular polyvinyl plastic sheeting backed with a textile material for reinforcement. The magazine holder measures 16 inches in length by 7 inches in width by 14 inches in height, and is designed to stand on the floor. The magazine holder has a strap handle and two side pockets. Although you state in your letter that the plastic surface is not cellular and is not backed with textile material, an examination of the sample reveals that the plastic sheeting is cellular and is backed with textile material. This is considered a plastic material for tariff purposes. As you requested, the sample will be returned. The applicable subheading for the magazine holder will be 9403.70.8010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other furniture and parts thereof, furniture of plastics, other, household. The rate of duty will be free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
