RE: The tariff classification of a placemat and napkin from
China.
Dear Ms. Proctor:
In your letter dated March 2, 1995 you requested a
classification ruling.
The instant samples are a placemat and napkin. The tan
placemat is made of 100 percent ramie woven fabric and it
measures approximately 36.5 centimeters by 37.5 centimeters. The
edges on the length side are hemmed. The edges on the width side
contain a zig-zag design with a tassel attached to each point of
the design. The zig zag edge design also contains embroidery.
The aqua green napkin is made of 100 percent silk woven
fabric and measures approximately 49 centimeters square. All
four edges are hemmed and contain a black embroidery design.
There is a tassel on each corner of napkin.
The applicable subheading for the placemat will be
6302.59.0020,Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen
and kitchen linen: other table linen: of other textile
materials... other. The duty rate will be 9.9 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the napkin will be
6302.59.0010, HTS, which provides for bed linen, table linen,
toilet linen: other table linen: of other textile materials...
containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk waste. The duty
rate will be 9.9 percent ad valorem.
The placemat and napkin fall within textile category
designation 899. Based upon international textile trade
agreements products of China are subject the requirement of a
visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office.
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
