The submitted sample, designated as style “Ovation”, is an unbleached or bleached jacquard woven fabric composed of 61% filament polypropylene and 39% filament polyester. It contains 36 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 16 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. Characterized by an intricate woven design featuring a stylized floral motif, it is constructed using 150 denier filament yarns in the warp and 500 denier filament yarns in the filling. Weighing 162 g/m2, this product will be imported in 230 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the jacquard woven fabric will be 5407.71.0015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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 synthetic filaments, unbleached or bleached, weighing not more than 170 g/m2.
