`RE: The tariff classification of a "Baby Trekker" from Canada.
`Dear Mr. Jerome:
`In your letter dated October 29, 1998, on behalf of Petterson Infant Products, Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada,
`you requested a tariff classification ruling and status under the North American Free Trade Agreement
`(NAFTA).
`The sample submitted is a "Baby Trekker". It is a soft infant carrier used for carrying a baby on a person's
`back or chest. The carrier can have the baby facing the person or facing away from the person. Shoulder
`straps and a waistband are sewn onto the carrier to provide support when carrying the baby. The main body of
`the carrier, the shoulder straps and the waistband are made of 100 percent cotton twill fabric with
`polyethylene foam padding. There is top stitching throughout the article creating a quilted pattern. The main
`body features an open elastic top pocket, a plastic hook on each side and crotch straps with D-rings. The
`shoulder straps feature D-rings at set intervals. The waistband has strips similar to the VELCRO brand
`fastener. The baby carrier inverts into a small pouch when not in use as a carrier.
`The applicable subheading for the "Baby Trekker" will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
`United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad
