RE: The tariff classification of woven fabric from France.
Dear Mr. Pipitone:
In your letter dated July 5, l990, on behalf of your client Valmon
International Corp., you requested a classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of 2x1 twill woven fabric. Based on
the information provided, this sample is composed of 65% cotton and 35%
polyamide. The fabric contains 49 single yarns per centimeter in the
warp and 31.5 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. It weighs
130 g/m2 and will be imported in various widths ranging between 110 and
240 centimeters. You indicated that the fabric will be imported in
both the greige state and piece dyed a single uniform color.
The applicable subheading for the greige twill woven fabric will
be 5210.12.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85
percent by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with man-made
fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m2, unbleached, 3-thread or
4-thread twill, including cross twill. The duty rate will be 9.1
percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the twill woven fabric that is piece
dyed will be 5210.32.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of cotton, containing
less that 85 percent by weight of cotton, mixed mainly or solely with
man-made fibers, weighing not more than 200 g/m2, dyed, 3-thread or
4-thread twill, including cross twill. The duty rate will be 11.1
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
