RE: The tariff classification of a PVC/nylon coated fabric for
use in coolers and school bags, from either China or Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Heilpern:
In your letter dated January 24, 1995, on behalf of Blue
Star Webbing Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The instant sample, identified in your letter as "fake
nylon", consists of a nylon woven backing fabric that has been
coated on one side with a compact PVC plastics material. This PVC
portion has been embossed to simulate a woven effect. The
material is 75% PVC and 25% nylon, by weight. The New York
Customs laboratory analyzed the instant sample and found it to
weigh approximately 331.7 grams per square meter.
The applicable subheading for the product will be
5903.10.2090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for textile fabrics impregnated, coated,
covered or laminated, with plastics, with polyvinyl chloride, of
man-made fibers, over 70 percent by weight of rubber or plastics.
The rate of duty will be 3.8 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
