RE: The tariff classification of woven fabric from India.
Dear Mr. Rastogi:
In your letter dated September 2, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of plain woven unbleached fabric. Laboratory analysis of this textile product reveals that this fabric is composed of 59.7% flax and 40.3% cotton. It contains 25.2 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 18.9 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. The fabric weighs 120 grams per square meter and it will be imported in 119 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the woven fabric will be 5309.21.4090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of flax, containing less than 85 percent by weight of flax, unbleached or bleached, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 3%.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
