Modification of ruling; revocation of treatment.CBP is modifying one ruling on the classification of certain mesh debris netting. CBP is also revoking any treatment it has previously accorded to substantially identical transactions.
According to CBP, the modification and revocation are effective for merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after August 5, 2007.
Mesh debris netting. The merchandise is described as mesh debris netting products used at construction sites to contain debris. The fabric is stated to be made of 100 percent polyester material of warp knit construction. It will be used to prevent any debris from falling to the ground when persons are working from a scaffold.
CBP is issuing HQ H003043 in order to modify HQ 968200 to delete the "effect on other rulings" section. HQ 968200 was a reconsideration of four previously issued rulings: NY C87245, NY C87894, NY F80765, and NY F82010. In the "effect on other rulings" section it was stated that those rulings were affirmed by HQ 968200. However, CBP now recognizes that this statement is in error.
The two subheadings under which the merchandise was classified in the four NY rulings were deleted from the HTS in 2002. Consequently, NY F82010, NY F80765, NY C87894, and NY C87245 were revoked by operation of law on the date the two subheadings were deleted, and could not be "affirmed" by HQ 968200.
No change in classification: 6005.33.0010, 10%
