RE: The tariff classification of 100% cotton woven fabric from
Pakistan.
Dear Ms. Allison:
In your letter dated February 13, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample designated as "Osnaburg" fabric,
that is unbleached and plain woven. Based on the information
provided, the fabric is composed of 100% cotton. The merchandise
is constructed using 10/1 c.c. yarns in the warp and 6/1 c.c.
yarns in the filling. The fabric contains 15 single yarns per
centimeter in the warp and 10 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. The fabric weighs 203 g/m2 and will be imported in
149.86 centimeter widths. The average yarn number is calculated
to be 12 in the metric system.
The applicable subheading for the unbleached cotton fabric
will be 5209.11.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of cotton
containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing more
than 200 g/m2, unbleached, plain weave, sheeting, not napped.
The duty rate will be 6.5 percent ad valorem.
This woven fabric falls within textile category designation
313. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Pakistan are subject to quota restrictions and visa
restraints.
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
