RE: The tariff classification of a wrist wrap from China

Dear Ms. Becker:

In your letter dated Oct. 15, 2007, on behalf of Schwabel Corp., of Bedford, Mass., you

requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample that you submitted is being returned asrequested.

The sample is a wrist wrap called the Pil-O-SplintR, item A-23. It measures approximately 14 x3.5 and is approximately 1/4" thick. It is composed of knit fabric with a layer of foam padding

in the middle and binding around the edges. There is a 2 x 4 piece of hook-and-loop fastener

strip in the center and a corresponding piece of hook-and-loop fastener strip on one end. At the

other end is a small hole for the thumb to fit through.

You state that it is designed to support the wrist and prevent injury during vigorous physicalactivity or lifting heavy articles, as well as to reduce strain from overuse of the wrist. You
