RE: The tariff classification of a rug from Egypt
Dear Ms. Chapa:
In your letter dated September 28, 2009 you requested a classification ruling.
The instant sample, identified as SKU 2445980, is a small representative sample of a rug. The rug is stated to be made from 60 percent viscose and 40 percent acrylic yarns. The woven rug is made with pile and chenille yarns. The surface of the rug features a design created by the sheared pile yarns. The chenille pile yarns form the background in the absence of the raised pile yarns. The rug is made in the Wilton style. The edges of the rug are bound. The actual rug will measure 62.5 x 92.4 inches.
The applicable subheading for the rug will be 5702.42.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked, whether or not made up, including “Kelem”, “Schumacks”, “Karamanie” and similar hand-woven rugs: other, of pile construction, made up: of man-made textile materials: Wilton (including Brussels) and velvet (including tapestry) floor coverings and floor coverings of like character or description.
