RE: The tariff classification of cotton woven fabric from Russia.

Dear Mr. Belei:

In your letter dated February 16, 1993, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample of jacquard woven fabric is identified as style #21316, Poem. Laboratory analysis indicates that this textile product is composed of 100% bleached cotton. It is constructed using 100/2 c.c. yarns in both the warp and the filling. The fabric contains 60.6 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 51 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. The average yarn number has been calculated to be 131 in the metric system. This fabric weighs 85 g/m2 and will be imported in approximately 85 centimeter widths.

The applicable subheading for the jacquard woven fabric will be 5208.29.8090, 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, other fabrics, other, of number 69 or higher number, other. The rate of duty will be 13.5 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,
