RE: The tariff classification of woven and knit fabrics from
Italy and Switzerland.
Dear Mr. Dragone:
In your letter dated April 7, 1997, on behalf of your client
Nils, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Pursuant to your request we are returning the samples that you
submitted.
Four samples of fabric accompanied your request for a
ruling. The first, designated as style Mod Squad, is a twill
woven fabric that has been dyed a single uniform color. It is
composed of approximately 51% non-textured filament polyester and
49% textured filament polyester. This product contains 60 single
yarns per centimeter in the warp and 59 single yarns per
centimeter in the filling. The fabric is constructed using 78
decitex yarns in the warp and 76 decitex yarns in the filling.
Weighing 105 g/m2, this item will be imported in 152 centimeter
widths.
Style "Precious Elements" is a twill woven fabric that has
been dyed a single uniform color. It is composed of 60% filament
polyester and 40% filament nylon. The fabric has been
constructed using 90 decitex filament yarns in the warp and 167
decitex filament yarns in the filling. Weighing 135 g/m2, this
product will be imported in 150 centimeter widths.
Style "Racy" is a knitted loop-pile brushed fabric which has
been dyed black. It is composed of 86% nylon and 14% "Elastam"
fiber (which we assume is the generic fiber spandex). Weighing
240 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 130 centimeter widths.
Style "BLK/SIL Faux Fur" is a knitted fake fur fabric
composed of 80% modacrylic and 20% polyester. This product is a
knitted fabric into which carded fibers have been inserted during
the knitting process. Weighing 633 g/m2, this fabric will be
imported in 150 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the fabric designated as style
Mod Squad will be 5407.69.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

duty will be 16.4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the brushed knit loop pile
fabric designated as style Racy will be 6001.22.0000, HTS, which
provides for pile fabrics, including "long pile" fabrics and
terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted, looped pile fabrics, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 18.8 percent ad valorem.
