Dear Mr. Grieszmer: In your letter dated August 12, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You are requesting the classification on a rigid plastic seat that is a replacement part for a gym swing set. The seat is constructed of polyethylene plastic.

The applicable subheading for the plastic seat for a gym swing set will be 9506.99.6080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports…and parts and accessories thereof: Other…Other.” The rate of duty will be 4 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
