RE:  The tariff classification of a Plastic Beaded Headband from
Hong      Kong.

Dear Ms. Everill:

     In your letter dated August 26, 1991, you requested a tariff

     The prospective import is a headband to be imported under
the following style numbers: 9640D, 9758, 9893, 9758-5, 9758-4
and 
KF1454-1.  It consists of a plastic base covered with plastic and
nylon with the top outer surface of the headband completely
covered by an intricate pattern of plastic beads and bugles.  

     The applicable subheading for the plastic beaded headband
will be 9615.11.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the
like: of plastics: other: not set with imitation pearls or
imitation gemstones.  The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad
valorem.   

     Each item should be marked as clearly, legibly and indelibly
as possible with the proper country of origin.

     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

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.

                                        Sincerely,
