RE: The tariff classification of woven upholstery fabric from
Germany.
Dear Ms. Wallace:
In your letter dated November 5, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of woven fabric identified as style
#9365. It is composed of 82% staple rayon and 18% cotton. This
product is dobby woven with yarns of different colors. The
fabric weighs 403 g/m2 and it will be imported in 137 centimeter
widths. Laboratory analysis of the abrasion resistance of this
fabric indicates that there was very slight noticeable wear on
the warp and filling yarns after 50,000 double rubs using a #10
cotton duck abradant.
The applicable subheading for style #9365 will be 5516.43.0030,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers containing
less than 85 percent by weight of artificial staple fibers,
mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of yarns of different colors,
other, of a width exceeding 127 centimeters. The rate of duty
will be 17 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
