RE: The tariff classification of 100% cotton twill woven fabric
which has been printed in Italy.
Dear Mr. Stone:
In your letter dated August 11, 1992, on behalf of your
client Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling. The samples have been returned to
Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. in accordance with your instructions.
Three samples of 100% cotton printed woven fabric were
submitted for examination. All of the samples are identical in
construction and vary only in the design that has been printed on
them. The fabrics, identified as styles Mascioni T 310 solid
print, Mascioni T 310 overall print-multi and Mascioni T 310
panel print-multi, are woven with a steep twill construction.
These products are manufactured with 60/1 c.c. combed yarns in
the warp and 75/1 c.c. combed yarns in the filling. Based on
laboratory analysis, they contain 47.2 single yarns per
centimeter in the warp and 74 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. Weighing 109.5 g/m2, these products will be imported in
widths varying between 168 centimeters and 275 centimeters. Your
correspondence indicates that this fabric will be used to
manufacture sheets in the United States.
The applicable subheading for the three twill woven fabrics
will be 5208.59.2090, 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 not
more than 200 g/m2, printed, other fabrics, satin weave or twill
weave, other. The rate of duty will be 10.3 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
