RE: Plastic Security Ties from England; Trade Show

Dear Ms. Glassco:

     This letter is in response to your June 9, 1990  
correspondence regarding the importation into the United States
of plastic security ties for distribution at a trade show.  You
inquire as to whether a permit is needed to effectuate their 
entry.
     
     While certain goods require an import license, plastic
security ties may enter the U.S. without a permit.  All goods
imported into the U.S., however, are subject to duty or duty-
free entry in accordance with their classification under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated
(HTSUSA).

     Under the HTSUSA, the subject security ties are classifiable
in subheading 3926.90.9050, which provides for other articles of
plastic, other, dutiable at 5.3 percent ad valorem.  Please note
subheading 9811.00.60, HTSUSA, which allows for the duty free
entry of any sample valued not over $1 each, or marked, torn,
perforated or otherwise treated so that it is unsuitable for sale
or for use otherwise than as a sample, to be used in the United
States only for soliciting orders for products of foreign
countries.

     
                                Sincerely,



                                John Durant, Director
