RE: The tariff classification of a roll covering wrap, for use on laundry flatwork ironers, etc., from Portugal. No sample was furnished.
Dear Mr. Olek:
In your letter dated March 20, 2001, you requested a classification ruling. The supplier is Fanafel, Ovar Codex, Portugal.
The product for which you seek advice is described as a roll covering wrap for use on laundry flatwork ironers that press laundered sheets, pillow cases and table cloths, etc. According to your correspondence they are of a polyester needleloom felt construction and, according to a recent telephone conversation with your office, they will be imported as cut to size sleeves to fit over a roll for use on the particular machine(s) that performs the operations depicted above.
The applicable subheading for the product will be 5911.90.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for textile products and articles, for technical use. The duty rate will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
You have asked whether this product is subject to antidumping duties or countervailing duties. A list of AD/CVD proceedings at the Department of Commerce (DOC) and their product coverage can be obtained from the DOC website at: http://ia.ita.doc.gov, or you may write to them at the U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Office of Antidumping Compliance, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20230. Written decisions regarding the scope of AD/CVD orders are issued by the Import Administration in the Department of Commerce and are separate from tariff classification and origin rulings issued by Customs.
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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist George Barth at 212-637-7085.
