RE: The tariff classification of 100% textured filament woven
fabric from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Feng:
In your letter dated September 5, 1995 you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, designated as style 300U, is a dyed
plain woven fabric composed of 100% textured filament polyester.
It contains 21.3 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 20.1
single yarns per centimeter in the filling. Weighing 168 g/m2,
the fabric will be imported in 150 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the plain woven polyester
fabric will be 5407.52.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of
synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from
the materials of heading 5404, other woven fabrics, containing 85
percent or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, dyed,
other, weighing not more than 170 g/m2, flat fabrics. The duty
rate will be 16.8 percent ad valorem.
This fabric falls within textile category designation 619.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Taiwan are subject to quota and 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. 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 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 Alan
Tytelman at 212-466-5896.
