RE: The tariff classification of rayon woven fabric from China.
Dear Ms. Moneika:
In your letter dated July 19, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
You have submitted a sample of jacquard woven fabric that is identified
as style Versailles. This textile product is composed of 51% staple rayon
and 49% filament rayon. It is constructed using 120 denier yarns in the warp
and 20/1 c.c. staple yarns in the filling. The merchandise is unbleached and
weighs 127 g/m2. It will be imported in 160 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the jacquard woven fabric, style
Versailles will be 5516.21.0090, 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 man-made filaments, unbleached or bleached, other. The
rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.
This fabric falls within textile category designation 629. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to
quota restrictions 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. 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
