RE: The tariff classification of woven upholstery fabric from
China.
Dear Mr. Cheung:
In your letter dated February 4, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample of upholstery fabric is jacquard woven
with yarns of different colors. Based on the information
provided, this product is composed of 100% cotton. The
merchandise weighs approximately 320 g/m2 and it will be imported
in 142 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for this upholstery fabric will be
5209.49.0020, 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,
of yarns of different colors, other fabrics, jacquard woven, of a
width exceeding 127 centimeters. The rate of duty will be 8.9
percent ad valorem.
This product falls within textile category designation 220.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China are subject to quota and visa requirements.
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. Custom 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
