Copies of photographs of the articles were submitted for our review. The articles are described in your letter as pre-pocketed strips of individual unglued helical spring coils.

You indicated that the imported strips measure approximately 6 inches to 9 inches in height by 2 inches to 2.5 inches in width by 36 inches to 78 inches in length depending on the final size mattress. In our telephone conversation on April 29, 2009, you stated that the spring coils are made of iron based high carbon steel. You suggested classification for the subject merchandise under heading 7320, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for springs of iron or steel. However, the pre-pocketed strips containing springs are made up articles and are not classifiable within heading 7320, HTSUS. The applicable subheading for the strips of spring coils for mattresses will be 7326.20.0070, HTSUS, which provides for other articles of iron or steel, articles of iron or steel wire, other. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
