RE:  The tariff classification of a cradle arm sling from Hong
Kong 

Dear Ms. Lear: 

     In your letter dated August 22, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Professional Care Products,
Inc.         
   The cradle arm sling sample you submitted is made of a
nonwoven textile material with a strap and plastic slip unit sewn
to the material.  You plan to import the arm sling without the
strap and plastic slip unit.  Based on Rule 2(a) of the General
Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, the
unfinished arm sling will be classified under the same provision
as the finished product.

     The applicable subheading for the unfinished cradle arm
sling will be 9021.19.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other orthopedic
appliances.  The rate of duty will be 5.8 percent.   

     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,

                                   
  
                                   Jean F. Maguire
