N299417 August 6, 2018 CLA-2-96:OT:RR:NC:N4:415 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 9603.90.8050 Ms. Chen Chen Liu AllStar Marketing Group, LLC 2 Skyline Drive Hawthorne, NY 10532 RE: The tariff classification of the True Touch™ Deshedding Glove from China. Dear Ms. Liu: In your letter dated July 26, you requested a tariff classification ruling on a deshedding glove. A sample was submitted and will be retained as requested. The article under consideration, style number TU011124, is a five-finger deshedding glove intended for use on dogs and cats. The glove is a polyester mesh-like textile and features an elastic band with a hook and loop closure at the wrist. The glove is black in color. Attached to the glove is a brush consisting of 180 soft silicone grooming tips spread evenly over the surface of the hand. The brush is blue in color. In the provided material, it indicates that the deshedding glove allows the user to calm the pet with a relaxing massage, which aids in grooming the pet. The brush loosens and lifts away hair from both under and top coats, which then sticks to brush. The pet hair can then be peeled off and thrown away.
