| HR    | The Administration opposes H.R. 857, a bill to clarify the   |
| 857   | rules of origin for certain textile and apparel products. We |
|       | believe that H.R. 857 was introduced in response to recent   |
|       | rulings on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rule of  |
|       | origin, where CBP determined that the origin of window       |
|       | shades and blinds manufactured in China was the country      |
|       | where the fabric was formed. That country was not China and  |
|       | the shades/blinds imports were therefore not subject to the  |
|       | China Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) "safeguard" quota.   |
|       | This bill would change the rule of origin for certain        |
|       | products to country of production/assembly.                  |
|       |                                                              |
|       | If this bill is enacted it would impact a wide range of      |
|       | products not just window shades and blinds. It would         |
|       | probably cause confusion as the trade knows that the origin  |
|       | for these products is generally the fabric producing         |
|       | country. Adding to the confusion will be that the rules for  |
|       | curtains, drapes, valances, bed skirts, window shades,       |
|       | window blinds, and shower curtains made from other fabrics   |
|       | such as cotton, rayon, and silk, for example, are not        |
|       | covered by this bill and would therefore retain the current  |
|       | rule of origin based on country where the fabric was formed. |
|       | In cases where CBP has had to apply the "most important      |
|       | country" multi-country rule of 19 U.S.C. § 3592(b)(3)(A), it |
|       | has relied on the general principle that fabric forming is   |
|       | the most important manufacturing operation for products      |
|       | classified in Part 1 to Chapter 63. In diluting this         |
|       | principle, the proposed change would add further to the      |
|       | confusion and widen the unintended effects of the proposed   |
|       | change.                                                      |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The proposed changes to the origin rules would also be       |
|       | subject to possible circumvention and would confer a limited |
|       | benefit to the proponent since the China MOU safeguard       |
|       | quotas are set to expire at the end of the year.             |

|       | (or yarn) mass per unit length (linear density). The HTS     |

| HR    | This bill is the result of an understanding between the      |
| 3392  | Government and Witex U.S.A., Inc. to settle CIT case \#      |
|       | 98-0360: Witex U.S.A. Inc., v. U.S. If Congress does not     |
|       | pass an appropriate bill, that reflects the parties'         |
|       | understanding of a settlement, the Court will have to issue  |
|       | a decision. That said, the bill needs to be perfected        |
|       | regarding the RETROACTIVE APPLICATION. The time period       |
|       | stated in subsections (b) (1) and (2) is not correct and not |
|       | within the understanding of the settlement. We recommend     |
|       | amending the bill to state as follows: "RETROACTIVE          |
|       | APPLICATION: Retroactivity applies only to entries whose     |
|       | liquidation has not yet become final."                       |

|       | containers with outer surface of textile materials and       |
|       | plastic sheeting material. Rather, they are tote bags        |
|       | classifiable as travel bags under 4202.92.3031, which        |
|       | provides for travel, sport and similar bags, with outer      |
|       | surface of textile materials, of man-made fibers, other than |
|       | backpacks. These bags would also not be classifiable in      |

| HR    | Cannot be administered unless rewritten. This bill was       |
| 3977  | intended to include only those gloves used by the            |
|       | "professional auto racing pit-crew mechanics" that have a    |
|       | specific construction, and therefore should apply to very    |
|       | narrow specific models of gloves. As written the bill states |
|       | "mechanics work gloves." This means that we would have to    |
|       | allow the special rate of duty for gloves used by all types  |
|       | of mechanics, going by the dictionary definition of          |
|       | mechanics, which would have to include mechanics who work    |
|       | with any type of machinery or tools. To limit the            |
|       | application of this bill to the products actually intended,  |
|       | HR 3977 should be rewritten to define the product as         |
|       | following: "Gloves specially designed for use by             |
|       | professional auto racing pit-crew mechanics and containing   |
|       | synthetic leather palms and fingers; fourchettes of          |
|       | synthetic leather or of fabric of nylon or elastomeric yarn; |
|       | backs comprising either one layer of knitted fabric of       |
|       | elastomeric yarn or three layers with the outer layer of     |
|       | knitted fabric of elastomeric yarn, the center layer of foam |
|       | and the inner layer of tricot fabric, the foregoing whether  |
|       | or not including a thermoplastic rubber logo or pad on the   |
|       | back; and elastic wrist straps with molded thermoplastic     |
|       | rubber hook-and-loop fasteners."                             |

|       | Change bill from technical correction to an extension of     |
|       | temporary duty reduction. The subject product is currently   |
|       | afforded several breakouts in chapter 99 of the HTS (see     |
|       | 9902.1401, 9902.1402, 9902.1403, 9902.1404 and 9902.1405),   |
|       | with a temporary duty reduction, from 20.7 cents/kg+10.4% to |
|       | 2.8%, through 12/31/2009. (DOC)                              |

| HR    | The bill is not administrable. Part (a) of proposed          |
| 4525  | Additional U.S. Note 4 to chapter 16 requires that airtight  |
|       | containers be "heat sealed." This requirement would have the |
|       | effect of excluding many containers (e.g., glass jars and    |
|       | metal cans) that are intended to be included. That is, such  |
|       | airtight jars and cans are usually closed by processes other |
|       | than "heat sealing," as that term is generally understood.   |
|       | Part (b) of proposed Note 4 imposes an                       |
|       | oxygen-transmission-rate requirement that would necessitate  |
|       | laboratory testing by CBP when compliance/enforcement issues |
|       | arise. We do not know if CBP laboratories are capable of     |
|       | performing the specified test; if they are not, then strict  |
|       | enforcement would not be possible. Finally, while proposed   |
|       | Additional U.S. Note 5 appears to be consistent with CBP     |
|       | practice, we believe that its inclusion in the tariff would, |
|       | paradoxically, invite abuse by brokers/importers, since it   |
|       | is open to interpretation and involves a level of factual    |
|       | detail that is often lacking on import documents. Lastly, we |
|       | are also concerned that while the bill's definitions are     |
|       | explicitly applicable only to subheading 1604.14, users of   |
|       | the HTSUS, both inside and outside CBP, might logically      |
|       | infer that the same conditions/requirements pertain to other |
|       | tariff provisions involving airtight containers.             |

| HR    | The text of subheading 9902.12.42 presently cites CAS No.    |
| 4531  | 173584-44-6, which is assigned to the S-isomer of Indoxacarb |
|       | (DPX-KN 128). The bill uses CAS No. 144171-61-9 which is     |
|       | assigned to the unspecified stereochemistry ("generic")      |
|       | product. CBP believes that the requestor actually means the  |
|       | s-isomer, CAS No. 173584-44-6) which is the only isomer with |
|       | insecticidal activity. The bill should be rewritten to       |

| HR    | The bill proposes that a subheading be inserted into the     |
| 4686  | HTSUS for compression-ignition internal combustion piston    |
|       | engines specifically to be installed in vehicles of heading  |
|       | 8709. The Explanatory Notes to this heading (8709) identify  |
|       | the type of vehicles included in this heading as being work  |
|       | vehicles that have specific uses such as "used in factories, |
|       | warehouses, dock areas or airports for the short distance    |
|       | transport of various loads (goods or containers) or, on      |
|       | railway station platforms, to haul small trailers." The      |
|       | establishment of a subheading solely for the internal        |
|       | combustion engines for these vehicles may require that CBP   |
|       | establish a requirement for an affidavit or documents in     |
|       | support of the fact that the engines imported under the new  |
|       | heading are intended for and will be solely be installed in  |
|       | work trucks of 8709 HTS and be verifiable, as this new       |
|       | subheading would be an actual use provision. Administration  |
|       | of such a requirement would be problematic and difficult to  |

| HR    | It appears that this bill is meant to apply to nonwoven      |
| 4699  | filter fabric that will be used on paint spraying booths.    |
|       | Unfortunately, the description in the bill does not          |
|       | sufficiently describe the product, is too broad in its       |
|       | present form and is not administrable.                       |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The meaning of the term "tackifier-coated" has not been      |
|       | clarified. Nonwovens are formed as a web and may have        |
|       | chemical bonding agents. Is this "tackifier" a normal        |
|       | bonding agent or an additional substance that is specific to |
|       | the required filtering function? It has never been           |
|       | identified.                                                  |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The bill appears to set out very specific requirements for   |
|       | the fibers that make up the nonwoven fabric -- polyester     |
|       | fibers (2 to 10 Decitex,...). Unfortunately the Customs      |
|       | field offices may not be able to confirm these parameters.   |
|       | If this material is sent to the Customs laboratories for     |
|       | analysis, there may be problems as well. Nonwovens can best  |
|       | be thought of as a mass of fibers in a web. The fibers may   |
|       | be difficult to separate from any chemical binders which     |
|       | would be required for the determination of both the Decitex  |
|       | and the length.                                              |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In addition, the bill as written is so broadly it could      |
|       | include all nonwovens with the same specified dimension --   |
|       | but a completely different use.                              |
|       |                                                              |
|       | One solution would be to word the bill to be a "use"         |
|       | provision. This way the duty free provision would only apply |
|       | to the specific product imported by the filer which appears  |
|       | to have a very specific use in paint spraying booths.        |
|       |                                                              |

| HR    | Bill title inaccurate. Instead of extending the temporary    |
| 4809  | suspension of duty on fipronil, this bill imposes a 5.2%     |
|       | duty, which is a reduction from the 6.5% of subheading       |

|       | Assuming the bill is intended to suspend the duty on all     |
|       | products falling in subheading 1604.13.20, the wording of    |

|       | any items normally encompassed by 1604.13.20 (e.g.,          |

| HR    | It is not clear from this description as to where the        |
| 5088  | "rubber mat" is located on this item. On the Whirlpool web   |
|       | site there is an item identified as a Laundry Work Surface   |
|       | in which it is stated: "The main textured area of the work   |
|       | surface is a chemical and scratch resistant mat that wipes   |
|       | clean easily." We understand that Whirlpool originally       |
|       | requested this duty suspension so it would appear that the   |
|       | part of the item that is described in the bill as "a rubber  |
|       | mat" is the actual work surface. Since the bill identifies   |
|       | the proper classification for this term to be 3924.90.56,    |
|       | which falls under a heading that only includes articles of   |
|       | plastics, this classification would be incorrect. If the     |
|       | work surface is truly made of rubber, the correct            |
|       | classification would be 4016.99.0500. On the other hand, the |
|       | industry often uses the word "rubber" for materials that     |
|       | Customs considers to be plastic. If this is the case, than   |
|       | the word "rubber" should be deleted from the bill            |
|       | description and classification in 3924.90.56 would be        |
|       | correct.                                                     |

| HR    | Bill in its present form is unacceptable. First,             |
| 5295  | "8477.20.20" does not exist. Extruders are provided for in   |
|       | 8477.20.00. Terminology used in bill titles and proposed     |
|       | heading should be consistent (e.g., titles show extruding    |
|       | equipment while proposed heading shows "machines").          |
|       | Preferred term is "machines". "Equipment" is too broad.      |
|       |                                                              |
|       | Use of "for building" is misleading. It implies that the     |
|       | machines do more than just extrude. CBP would prefer         |
|       | terminology such as "hot feed extruder" for an extruder      |
|       | which only forms and shapes the rubber compounds.            |
|       |                                                              |
|       | Proposed bill includes the phrase "and parts and accessories |
|       | thereof". The language of heading 8477 does not encompass    |
|       | "accessories", only parts. If parts are to be considered,    |
|       | then the appropriate subheading should also be listed, i.e., |
|       | 8477.90. This would be consistent with the existing 9902     |
|       | numbers covering tire manufacturing machines (e.g.,          |
|       | 9902.84.85). If the bill is intended to encompass separately |
|       | imported accessories, then each accessory will have to be    |
|       | separately listed along with its respective subheading.      |
|       | There is no one subheading for "accessories."                |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In addition, the proposed new subheading number is shown as  |
|       | 9902.01.00. However, 9902.01.00 is also shown for H.R.4782,  |
|       | H.R.4783, H.R.5296 and H.R.5297. A unique identifying 9902   |
|       | number must be created for H.R. 5295 before the provision    |
|       | can be administered.                                         |
|       |                                                              |

| HR    | Bill in its present form is unacceptable. Proposed bill      |
| 5296  | includes the phrase "and parts and accessories thereof". The |
|       | language of heading 8477 does not encompass "accessories",   |
|       | only parts. If parts are to be considered, then the          |
|       | appropriate subheading should be listed, i.e., 8477.90. This |
|       | would be consistent with the existing 9902 numbers covering  |
|       | tire manufacturing machines (e.g., 9902.84.89). If the bill  |
|       | is intended to encompass separately imported accessories,    |

| HR    | Bill in its present form is unacceptable. Bill title refers  |
| 5297  | to "certain tirebuilding machines". However, this appears to |
|       | be a collection of sundry machines and equipment used in a   |
|       | tire production facility but not necessarily classified in   |
|       | heading 8477. Unless it can be shown that the named articles |
|       | form a functional unit (all imported together and all        |
|       | intended to contribute together to a clearly defined         |
|       | function covered by one of the headings in heading 8477),    |
|       | then the machines are classifiable in their respective       |
|       | headings (e.g., conveying equipment/heading 8428;            |
|       | controlling machinery/chapter 85 or 90; feeder               |
|       | systems/heading 8428 or 8479). None of the cited machines    |
|       | would be classified in heading 8477 on its own merit alone.  |
|       | The use of the nebulous term "but not limited to" is also    |
|       | unacceptable. Bill has to be rewritten to clearly show       |
|       | exactly what it is intended to encompass.                    |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In addition, it should be noted that the language of heading |
|       | 8477 does not encompass "accessories", only parts. If parts  |
|       | are to be considered, then the appropriate subheading should |
|       | also be listed, i.e., 8477.90. This would be consistent with |
|       | the existing 9902 numbers covering tire manufacturing        |
|       | machines (e.g., 9902.84.10). If the bill is intended to      |
|       | encompass separately imported accessories, then each         |
|       | accessory will have to be separately listed along with its   |
|       | respective subheading. There is no one subheading for        |
|       | "accessories."                                               |

|       | Additional information is needed on all the listed machines. |
|       | What is each one's function? Are they all contained in one   |
|       | housing or mounted one on the other at time of importation?  |
|       | What other machines are meant to be included in the "but not |
|       | limited to" phrase?                                          |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In addition, the proposed new subheading number is shown as  |
|       | 9902.01.00. However, 9902.01.00 is also shown for H.R.4782,  |
|       | H.R.4783, H.R.5295 and H.R.5296. A unique identifying 9902   |
|       | number must be created for H.R. 5297 before the provision    |
|       | can be administered.                                         |
|       |                                                              |

| HR    | The bill contains insufficient information. Articles need to |
| 5300  | be described in greater detail. What are "certain cores"?    |
|       | What is the purpose/function of the cores? Where are the     |
|       | cores used? The reference to subheadings 9902.25.30,         |
|       | 9902.25.31 and 9902.25.32 does appear to be consistent with  |
|       | the limited descriptive information provided. For example,   |
|       | subheading 9902.25.32 needs to have a more specific target   |
|       | subheading number: 8708.40.1150 needs to replace the current |
|       | 8708.40.11. Vehicles of heading 8703 are classifiable in     |
|       | subheading 8708.40.11 and they are not intended to benefit   |
|       | from the language of 9902.25.32.                             |

| HR    | CAS No. 68457-13-6 is the number for a chemical compound     |

|       | the duty suspension on unwrought cobalt boron metal (an      |
|       | alloy of cobalt) classifiable, as stated, in HTS 8105.20.30. |
|       | We have no objection if the listed CAS number is deleted.    |
|       | This duty suspension was previously provided for under       |

| HR    | In addition to the substantive objections to enactment of    |
| 5399  | the bill as noted in the matrix, there are technical         |
|       | problems with the bill as set out below. Please note that    |
|       | making these technical corrections will not remove the       |
|       | Administration's substantive opposition to the bill.         |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The proposal requires clarification. Bags that are           |
|       | considered travel bags for tariff purposes (with outer       |
|       | surface of man-made textile materials) are classifiable in   |
|       | subheadings 4202.92.3020 or 4202.92.3031, not subheading     |
|       | 4202.12.80. Some bags of man-made textile material with      |
|       | wheels and telescoping handles are considered suitcases (for |
|       | example, a rolling pullman) for tariff purposes and are      |
|       | classifiable in subheading 4202.12.80.                       |
|       |                                                              |
|       | However, a bag with stowable shoulder straps infers that the |
|       | bag intended in H.R. 5399 is more of a wheeled backpack,     |
|       | wheeled duffle bag, or wheeled tote bag rather than a        |
|       | rolling pullman-type of suitcase. Bags that have two         |
|       | shoulder straps which allow the bag to be worn over the      |
|       | shoulders and on the back are classifiable as backpacks.     |
|       | Bags with other types of shoulder straps are commonly        |
|       | classifiable as other travel bags.                           |
|       |                                                              |
|       | A wheeled backpack with outer surface of man-made textile    |
|       | material would be classified as subheading 4202.92.3020      |
|       | which provides for travel, sport, and similar bags, with     |
|       | outer surface of textile materials, of man-made fibers,      |
|       | backpacks. A wheeled duffle bag or tote bag with outer       |
|       | surface of man-made textile material would be classified as  |
|       | subheading 4202.92.3031 which provides for travel, sport,    |
|       | and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials,   |
|       | of man-made fibers, other.                                   |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The mention of the removable backpack or daypack twice in    |
|       | the proposal could suggest that the bag must have two        |
|       | attached articles, rather than one.                          |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In addition, as currently written it is not clear if the     |
|       | "travel bag," the "removable backpack or daypack," or both   |
|       | must be provided for in tariff number indicated.             |
|       |                                                              |
|       | To remedy this, the proposal should be rewritten as follows: |
|       | "Travel bags with outer surface man-made fibers (provided    |
|       | for in subheading 4202.92.3020 or subheading 4202.92.3031),  |
|       | with wheels, a telescoping handle, stowable shoulder straps, |
|       | valued over \$30, not to exceed 4900 cubic inches (60        |
|       | liters), with a removable separate backpack or daypack (also |
|       | provided for in subheading 4202.92.3020 or subheading        |
|       | 4202.92.3031), attached by zipper or other means, not to     |
|       | exceed 1600 cubic inches (26 liters)."                       |

|       | to the fabric. If however, the PFA fabric is incapable of    |
|       | performing its filtering function without further processing |
|       | or manufacturing (other than cutting to size and shape,      |
|       | folding, etc.), then subheading 5407.71.00 may apply.        |
|       |                                                              |
|       | Chapter 59 Note 7 reads, in part, "Heading 5911 applies to   |
|       | the following goods, which do not fall in any other heading  |
|       | of section XI:...                                            |
|       |                                                              |
|       | \(iii\) Straining cloth                                      |
|       |                                                              |
|       | In the Explanatory Notes (EN) to Chapter 59 it states, in    |
|       | part,                                                        |
|       |                                                              |
|       | "The textile products and articles of this heading present   |
|       | particular characteristics which identify them as being for  |
|       | use in various types of machinery, apparatus, equipment or   |
|       | instruments or as tools or parts of tools...                 |
|       |                                                              |
|       | \(3\) Straining cloth (e.g., woven filter fabrics and        |
|       | needled filter fabrics)"                                     |
|       |                                                              |
|       | There are numerous NY and HQ ruling letters which have       |
|       | established that "straining cloth" covers all forms of       |
|       | filtering (liquid, gases, etc.) and is not limited to oil    |
|       | presses. At the very least, heading 5911 should be included  |
|       | in the text of the chapter 99 provision.                     |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The chapeau to the bill should read \"To suspend temporarily |
|       | the duty on certain woven mesh for use in filters\". Also,   |
|       | the description of the product in new subheading 9902.01.00  |
|       | should read \"Woven mesh of perfluoroalkoxy copolymer resin  |
|       | with filaments measuring 100 to 120 microns in diameter, for |
|       | use in manufacturing filters of heading 8421 (provided for   |
|       | in subheading 5407.71.00)" (DOC)                             |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| HR    | Section 1(a) of the bill refers to "Heading 9902.02.33."     |
| 5459  | This classification is incorrect. Instead, the               |
|       | classification should be revised to read as follows          |
|       | "Subheading 9902.10.33...." Also, the bill should be revised |
|       | to add the product description shown in HTS.                 |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| HR    | The amendment in Section 1(a)(1) regarding the change in     |
| 5476  | subheading is not necessary. The present text of subheading  |
|       | 9902.05.19 is correct as written.                            |

| HR    | In addition to the substantive objections to enactment of    |
| 5553  | the bill as noted in the matrix, there are technical         |
|       | problems with the bill as set out below. Please note that    |
|       | making these technical corrections will not remove the       |
|       | Administration's substantive opposition to the bill.         |
|       |                                                              |
|       | Travel bags of man-made fibers are provided for in           |
|       | subheadings 4202.92.3020 and 4202.92.3031, not 4202.12.80.   |
|       | Subheading 4202.12.80 provides for trunks, suitcases, vanity |
|       | cases, briefcases, school satchels, and similar containers,  |
|       | constructed with outer surface of textile material, other    |
|       | than of vegetable fibers and not of pile construction.       |

| HR    | In addition to the substantive objections to enactment of    |
| 5675  | the bill as noted in the matrix, there are technical         |
|       | problems with the bill as set out below. Please note that    |
|       | making these technical corrections will not remove the       |
|       | Administration's substantive opposition to the bill.         |
|       |                                                              |
|       | The term "certified" should be defined or clarified, either  |
|       | within the text of the provision itself or in a statistical  |
|       | or U.S. Note to chapter 24. The clarifying language or       |
|       | definition should specify by whom, where and/or when the     |
|       | certification is to be made. In absence of such              |
|       | definition/clarification, CBP would encounter some           |
|       | difficulty in administering the provision in a consistent    |
|       | manner. Also, the bill, as written, appears to use new text  |
|       | in an existing subheading (2402.10.80). Traditional practice |
|       | in such circumstances requires that the existing number be   |
|       | retired and replaced by a new number.                        |
