The applicable subheading for the material will be 5903.10.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, with plastics, with polyvinyl chloride, of man-made fibers, over 70 percent by weight of rubber or plastics, fabrics of yarns sheathed with polyvinyl chloride, not otherwise impregnated, coated, covered or laminated.
