RE: The tariff classification of cotton woven fabric from Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Mahmood:
In your letter dated September 9, 1993, you requested a classification
ruling.
You have submitted five samples identified as code nos. 199-212-008-55,
199-212-009-55, 199-302-21-55, 199-302-23-55 and 199-302-24-55. These
jacquard woven samples are similar in construction and vary only in their
individual designs. They are composed of 100% cotton and are manufactured
using yarns of different colors. This merchandise is constructed using 20/1
c.c. yarns in the warp and 10/1 c.c. yarns in the filling. The weight of
these fabrics will vary between 300 g/m2 and 500 g/m2. They will be
imported in widths ranging between 111 and 182 centimeters.
The applicable subheading for the fabrics designated as code nos. 199-
212-008-55, 199-212-009-55, 199-302-21-55, 199-302-23-55 and 199-302-24-55
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
duty rate will be 8.9 percent ad valorem.
These woven fabrics fall within textile category designation 220. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Pakistan are
subject to visa requirements only.
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
