RE: The tariff classification of woven fabric from Italy.
Dear Ms. Mosbrucker:
In your letter dated July 19, 1990, you requested a
classification ruling.
You submitted a sample of yarn dyed woven fabric, designated
as style #09584 name "Kathin". This product is composed of 59%
cotton and 41% filament cuprammonium rayon. It is constructed
using 72.8 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 41.7
single yarns per centimeter in the filling. The fabric is woven
with a plain weave and weighs 247 g/m2. The average yarn number
is calculated to be 46 in the metric system. This merchandise
will be imported in 137 centimeter widths.
You suggested that the classification of this product may be
in subheading 5210.59.4090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of
the United States (HTS). This subheading applies to 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 printed, other, of number 42 or lower number,
other. Since the sample submitted is yarn dyed and weighs more
than 200 g/m2, classification in this subheading is not
possible.
The applicable subheading for the woven fabric will be
5211.41.0020, (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 more than 200 g/m2,
yarns of different colors, plain weave, not napped. The rate of
duty will be 9.7 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
