Dear Mrs. Makhdoom:
In your letter dated July 18, l990, you requested a

You have submitted two samples of jacquard woven fabrics. Sample

This sample has a jacquard woven border extending the entire length of
the fabric. It is composed of 50% staple acrylic, 35% cotton and 15%
wool. The construction consists of single and 2-ply spun yarns in both
the warp and the filling. This product weighs 200 g/m2 and will be
imported in 99 centimeter widths.
Sample no. 2, designated as item #103, is a yarn dyed jacquard
woven fabric. It is composed of 50% cotton, 25% wool and 25% spun
acrylic. This product is constructed using both single and 2-ply yarns
in the warp and the filling. This fabric weighs 225 g/m2 and will be
imported in 99 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the woven fabric, designated as item
#104, will be 5514.39.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United

Both samples of yarn dyed, jacquard woven fabrics fall within
textile category designation 220. Based upon international textile
trade agreements, products of Pakistan are subject to visa
requirements.
The designated textile and apparel category 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
