Tariff classification

HTS codes: 4908.90.0000

Product description

The ruling was requested on heat transfer decals. Product literature was submitted for our review. The Xtreme Logo heat transfer decals are composed of a printed polyester transfer sheet, heat-activated adhesive, and a release sheet. They are designed to be adhered to bleacher seats for use in a gym or similar setting. Each decal forms a small piece of a larger design, such as the team mascot, which, when installed across the many seat-fronts, creates the completed design when viewed from a distance. Individual decals are applied by hand using a combination of heat and pressure which activates the adhesive. The release sheet is discarded after transference.

CBP rationale

The applicable subheading for the Xtreme Logo transfers will be 4908.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Transfers (decalcomanias): Other.
