RE: The tariff classification of woven tablecloth from China.
Dear Ms. Johansen:
In your letter dated July 8, 1994, on behalf of your client
Rambi Trading Corp., you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample is a woven tablecloth, identified as
style BT998.
It is composed of 100 percent bleached cotton. The tablecloth
which measures 68 inches in diameter contains embroidery and
lace.
The applicable subheading for the tablecloth, style BT998,
will be 6302.51.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet
linen and kitchen linen, other table linen: of cotton,
tablecloths and napkins, other, plain woven. The duty rate will
be 5.5 percent ad valorem.
This tablecloth falls within textile category designation
369. 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
