RE: The tariff classification of 100% cotton twill woven fabric
composed of yarns of different colors from India.
Dear Mr. Castronuovo:
In your letter dated March 6, 1997 you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, identified as Design# 8983, is a 2X1
twill woven fabric composed of 100% cotton. It contains
approximately 94.5 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and
51.2 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. The fabric has
been constructed with yarns of different colors and is produced
using 2 ply yarns in both the warp and filling. Weighing 177
g/m2, this product will be imported in 150 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the twill woven fabric will be
5208.43.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85
percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200
g/m2,, of yarns of different colors, 3-thread or 4-thread twill,
including cross twill. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad
valorem.
This twill woven fabric falls within textile category
designation 218. Based upon international textile trade
agreements products of India are subject to quota and the
requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements

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
