Product description
The ruling was requested on a “Rusk Banner” (model IRBANNER5), photos of which were submitted for our examination. You describe the item as a silk-screened banner, made of PVC plastic sheeting, housed in a self-contained, retractable aluminum shell. Designed to be displayed in beauty salons for promotional purposes, the banner is said to be 32” wide by 79” tall. The photos show the banner extending upright from a footed, tube-like metal housing resting horizontally on the floor. The banner’s face is printed with a large picture of a female model, together with the large caption “RUSK” (a brand name for a line of hair-care products). A rear view of the article shows what appears to be a T-shaped support that holds the banner in its upright position. You also state that the article will be packed in a canvas carry bag, a photo of which was included with your inquiry. It appears that the bag is specially shaped to accommodate the product.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the complete “Rusk Banner” with carry bag will be 4911.10.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (than certain specified) printed trade advertising material.
