RE: The tariff classification of woven fabric from Russia.
Dear Mr. Belei:
In your letter dated February 16, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample is identified as style #1503, Batiste.
Based on Customs laboratory analysis, this plain woven fabric
is composed of 100% bleached cotton. You indicate that it is
constructed using combed yarns in both the warp and filling. The
merchandise contains 28 single yarns per centimeter in the warp
and 23 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. This textile
product weighs 95.6 g/m2 and it will be imported in approximately
80 centimeter widths. The average yarn number has been
calculated to be 53 in the metric system.
The applicable subheading for the woven fabric will be
5208.21.4040, 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, bleached, plain weave, weighing not more than 100 g/m2, of
numbers 43 to 68, sheeting. The rate of duty will be 10.2
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
