RE: The tariff classification of 100% filament nylon woven fabric from Great
Britain.
Dear Ms. Brown:
In your letter dated July 30, 1993, on behalf of your client The Gates
Rubber Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Five samples of woven fabric accompanied your request for a ruling.
None of the fabrics were manufactured using high tenacity yarns. After
importation, all of the fabrics will be used to manufacture automobile timing
belts. The first sample, identified as style 234-0230, is an unbleached or
bleached twill woven fabric composed of 100% filament nylon. It contains
42.8 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 27.6 single yarns per
centimeter in the filling. This product is manufactured using 235 decitex
yarns in the warp and 220 decitex yarns in the filling. Weighing 228 g/m2,
it will be imported in 101 centimeter widths.
Style 234-0280 is an unbleached or bleached twill woven fabric composed
of 100% nylon filament. It is manufactured using 235 decitex yarns in the
warp and 220 decitex yarns in the filling. This fabric contains 35 single
yarns per centimeter in the warp and 35.2 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. This product will be imported in 76 centimeter widths and weighs
248 g/m2.
Style 234-0365 is a twill woven fabric composed of 100% filament nylon.
It contains 32.4 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 29.6 single
yarns per centimeter in the filling. It is constructed using 235 decitex
yarns in the warp and 312 decitex yarns in the filling. This unbleached or
bleached fabric weighs 300 g/m2 and will be imported in 117 centimeter
widths.
Style 234-0401 is an unbleached or bleached twill woven fabric composed
of 100% filament nylon. It is manufactured using 235 decitex yarns in the
warp and 468 decitex yarns in the filling. This product contains 29.2 single
yarns per centimeter in the warp and 28 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. Weighing 356 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 117 centimeter
widths.
Style 234-0402 is a twill woven unbleached or bleached fabric composed
of 100% filament nylon. It contains 31.2 single yarns per centimeter in the
warp and 24.4 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. This fabric is
constructed using 235 decitex yarns in the warp and 624 decitex yarns in the
filling. Weighing 400 g/m2, this product will be imported in 132 centimeter
widths.
The applicable subheading for all five woven fabrics will be
5407.41.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven
fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404, other woven fabrics,
containing 85 percent or more by weight of filaments of nylon or other
polyamides, unbleached or bleached, other, weighing more than 170 g/m2.
The rate of duty will be 17 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
