RE:	The tariff classification of an infant car seat cushion infant head
support cushion and neck support cushion from China.



Dear Ms. Van Den Broeke:



	In your letter dated May 6, 1996 you requested a classification ruling on
behalf of Germton Enterprises, Ltd.  

	

	The submitted sample, identified as "RightFit", is an infant car seat
stroller cushion.  The outershell is made form a woven blend of 65 percent
polyester and 35 percent cotton fabric.  It is filled with a polyester filler.
The woven fabric is printed with bears.  This item measures approximately 14 x
21 inches and contoured in the form of a seat.  The top portion has a removable
tubular edge which is also stuffed.  It has two slots on each side and the
bottom with a snap closure through which restraints will presumably protrude.



	The head support cushion, referred to as "2-Stage Head Support", will be
used in an infant's car seat or carrier.  The outershell will be from 65 percent
polyester and 35 percent cotton woven fabric which is printed in a blue and
white polka dot pattern.  This cushion is rectangular in shape and is stuffed
with a polyester fiber fill.  The top portion has a tubular edge which is also
stuffed.  The item measures approximately 11 inches by 23 inches.  It has two
slots on each side with a snap closure and an opening at the bottom through
which restraints will presumably protrude.















	The third item, identified as "Neck Support", is an infant neck support
cushion.  The front layer is made from a woven blend of 65 percent polyester and
35 percent cotton and the back layer is made from a knit blend of 65 percent
cotton and 35 percent polyester fabric.  The fabric is stuffed with a polyester
fiber fill.  The woven fabric is printed in navy blue and white polka dot
pattern.  It is tubular in shape and measures approximately 7 inches by 8-1/2
inches.  This neck support is placed around a baby's neck while the child is
napping in a car or portable chair to support the baby's head and neck
comfortably during the napping period.



	The applicable subheading for the car seat cushion and the infant head and
neck support cushions will be 9404.90.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for mattress supports; articles of bedding
and similar furnishing (for example, mattresses quilts, eiderdowns, cushions,
pouffes and pillows) fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with
any material or of cellular rubber or of cellular rubber or plastics, whether or
not covered: other: pillows, cushions and similar furnishing: other.  The duty
rate will be 6 percent ad valorem.



	Presently, the above subheading is not assigned a textile category
designation and items classified therein are not subject to quota or visa
requirements.



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



	A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
