RE: The tariff classification of a "Glove Locker" from China.

Dear Ms. Cates-Reyes:

In your letter dated August 15, 1996, on behalf of Glove Locker, Camarillo, California, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

It is made of neoprene rubber laminated on both inner and outer surfaces with knit fabric. At one end it features a pouch with strips similar to the VELCRO brand loop fastener. A hook and loop fastener is used for securing the article when it is wrapped around the outside of the glove. It measures approximately 23 1/8 inches long by 5 3/4 inches wide. The article is packaged in a blister pack.

The applicable subheading for the "Glove Locker/Pocket Protection" will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
