Notice
to Exporters : Series 1 (USA) No. 9/2005
US
: Classification change of Disposable Foot Socks
The US Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) invites comments on its proposed change
in the classification of "disposable foot socks".
DETAILS
- Under the existing
classification, items identified as "disposable foot socks"
and made up of 100 percent nylon knit fabric are under subheading
6307.90.9889 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of the US. CBP
proposes changing the classification of these disposable socks to
HTS subheading 6115.93.9020. The proposed change would increase the
tariff rate on imports of disposable foot socks from the current 7
percent to 14.6 percent.

CBP's relevant notice is at Annex

can be addressed to CBP on or before 9 September 2005. Traders

for further information or enquiry on the proposed change.
