RE: The tariff classification of four brushed polyester warp knit fabrics from China
Dear Mr. AuYoung:
In your letter dated June 09, 2016, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Luxury Fabrics. Four samples were provided and sent for laboratory analysis.
Luxury Fabrics Patterns #2110 Black, #2112, #2114 and #2110 White are described as “100% Polyester Knitted Brushed Velour Inherited Flame Retardant,” and are characterized by a soft feel on one side of the fabric. U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) laboratory analysis of each sample was conducted. Patterns #2110 Black, #2112, #2114, and #2110 White are composed wholly of polyester yarns and weigh 208.6 g/m2, 299.8 g/m2, 486.2 g/m2 and 215.8 g/m2, respectively. Each is of warp knit construction. Patterns #2110 Black, #2112, #2114 are dyed a single uniform color other than white, while #2110 White is bleached. Each sample has been brushed or napped on one side. You state that Patterns #2110 Black, #2112, #2114, and #2110 White will be imported in widths of 157 cm, 156 cm 156 cm, and 157 cm, respectively.

The rate of duty will be 10% ad valorem.

The rate of duty will be 10% ad valorem.
