RE:  The tariff classification of printed pressure-sensitive
paper     labels from Japan.

Dear Mr. Sunakoda:

     In your letter dated July 2, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Mitsui & Co. (USA), you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     A sample was submitted, which will be retained for
reference.  It is a printed, plastic-coated, flat pressure-
sensitive label, mounted on a release backing paper, measuring
about 5" x 3 3/8".  The method of printing is not specified in
your inquiry; it appears not to be a lithographic process, and
the classification herein is based on such premise.

     The applicable subheading for the printed, pressure-
sensitive label described will be 4821.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for :  Paper
and paperboard labels of all kinds, whether or not printed: 
Printed:  Other (than in whole or in part by a lithographic
process).  The rate of duty will be 4.2 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,



                                        Jean F. Maguire
