RE: The tariff classification of linen/cotton blend dyed plain
woven fabric from China.
Dear Liberati:
This letter replaces the ruling letter dated July 12, 1996
which you recently received. In reviewing that ruling, we have
identified a clerical error in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
number contained in the body of the ruling. That clerical error
has been corrected in the text below.
In your letter dated June 13, 1996, on behalf of your client
Good Lad Co., you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample is a plain woven fabric which has been
dyed a single uniform color. It is composed of 55% linen and 45%
cotton and contains 20 single yarns per centimeter in the warp
and 18.5 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. This
product is constructed using 11/1 c.c. yarns in both the warp and
filling. Your correspondence indicates that this fabric will be
imported in widths ranging between 142 and 170 centimeters.
The applicable subheading for the plain woven fabric will be
5309.29.4010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of flax, containing less
than 85 percent by weight of flax, other, other, other. The duty
rate will be 2.4 percent ad valorem.
This fabric falls within textile category designation 810.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
China are subject visa requirements.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part
categories are the result of international bilateral agreements
which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To
obtain the most current information available, we suggest that
you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on
Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of
the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at
your local Customs office.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alan
Tytelman at 212-466-5896.
Sincerely,
