You submitted a sample of Lint Rollers, Model ST-CC4011, for our examination. The Lint Roller, including the handle, measures approximately 6½” in length.

The Lint Rollers are put up for retail sale in a hard plastic clamshell package that contains two roller tubes. The applicable subheading for the Lint Rollers will be 4823.90.6700, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Other (than certain specified articles of paper): Of coated paper or paperboard: Other (than Gaskets, washers and other seals).
