RE: The tariff classification of a laminated fabric for use in the
manufacture of outerwear, from Italy.
Dear Mr. Stein:
In your letter dated August 27, 1993, on behalf of Silana
Textiles, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The instant sample, which was not identified as to style or quality
number, consists of a heavily napped or fulled face material composed of
80% wool and 20% polyamide, by weight. This material has been bonded to a
100% nylon tricot fabric with a layer of polyurethane foam plastic which is
visible in cross section. This material, which appears to be in chief
weight of the wool portion, will be imported as roll goods having 60 inch
widths.
The applicable subheading for the material will be 5903.20.3010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, with plastics,
with polyurethane, of wool or fine animal hair. The rate of duty will be
5.3 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
Area Director
