RE: The tariff classification of two samples of cotton/polyester
woven fabric from Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Mehta:
In your letter dated October 29, 1992, received on November
16, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted two samples of woven fabric. Sample no.
1 is composed of 55% cotton and 45% staple polyester. It
contains 25.9 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 22.8
single yarns per centimeter in the filling. This bleached fabric
is plain woven and weighs 122 g/m2. The average yarn number has
been calculated to be 39 in the metric system.
Sample no. 2 is a plain woven fabric that has been
bleached. It is composed of 70% cotton and 30% staple polyester.
This textile product is constructed using carded yarns in both
the warp and the filling. The merchandise contains 27.5 single
yarns per centimeter in the warp and 23.6 single yarns per
centimeter in the filling. The fabric weighs 105 g/m and the
average yarn number has been calculated to be 48 in the metric
system.
The applicable subheading for sample no. 1 will be
5210.21.4040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(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 not more than 200 g/m2, bleached,
plain weave, of number 42 or lower number, sheeting. The rate of
duty will be 9.6 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for sample no. 2 will be
5210.21.6060, 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 not more than 200 g/m2,
bleached, plain weave, of numbers 43 to 68, printcloth. The rate
of duty will be 11.4 percent ad valorem.
Sample no. 1, falls within textile category designation 313
and sample no. 2 falls within textile category designation 315.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, both products
of Pakistan are subject to visa requirements and quota
restrictions.
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
