RE: The tariff classification of a textile furnishing from India
Dear Ms. Lall:
In your letter dated September 22, 2008 you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample, referred to as a beach blanket Style # MSCBCHBLANK, is a textile furnishing. It is made from 100 percent cotton twill woven fabric. The fabric is yarn dyed with a multi-color plaid design. The warp yarns that extend from both ends are twisted together to form a fringe with a crocheted rosette attached to the end. The sides are selvage. The furnishing will measure 83 inches square. This item is not designed for protection against the cold and it is not considered to be a blanket.
The applicable subheading for Style # MSCBCHBLANK will be 6304.92.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: not knitted or crocheted, of cotton. The general duty rate will be 6.3 percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
