RE:  The tariff classification of colored glass yarns from
Germany.

Dear Mr. DiGioia:

     In your letter dated July 8, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
         
     You have submitted technical literature and two samples of
colored, plied glass yarns identified as "Klevotherm" style Nos.
PT6-790 HT75 AND EC9-136X3 (plies) S135 HT75.  The two style HT75
yarns are made of continuous multifilaments treated with silane. 
The silane treatment gives the glass a slightly yellow color. 
The material can be used up to a maximum temperature of 7500 C. 
The style No. PT-790 HT75 glass yarn has been bulked after
texturizing.  The yarns will be imported on tubes weighing 10
kilograms maximum.

     Regarding your comments on invoice requirements,
texturizing, twist, tenacity and decitex would not affect the
classification of  yarns.  The invoice must state that the
product is a yarn (not slivers, rovings, or chopped strands) and
whether or not it is not colored.

     The applicable subheading for the two HT75 type glass yarns
will be 7019.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for glass fibers (including glass
wool) and articles thereof (for example, yarn, woven
fabrics),..., yarns, colored.  The rate of duty will be 9.6
percent ad valorem.

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.



                                   Sincerely,
