RE: The tariff classification of yarn dyed 100% combed wool
upholstery fabric from England.
Dear Ms. Mosbrucker:
In your letter dated September 24, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
You submitted two samples of woven fabric. Both samples are
composed of yarn dyed 100% combed wool fibers. Sample A,
identified as style #20531 "Hamilton", is a combination of twill
and plain weave. Based on the information provided this product
exhibits abrasion resistance, flame retardance and mothproofing
treatment consistent with requirements for upholstery use. The
fabric weighs 333 g/m2 and will be imported in 137 centimeter
widths.
Sample B, identified as style #21111 "Desmond", is sateen woven.
This merchandise exhibits abrasion resistance, flame retardance and
mothproofing treatment consistent with requirements for upholstery
use. It weighs 445 g/m2 and will be imported in 137 centimeter
widths. Your letter indicated that both products will be used solely
for upholstery fabrics.
The applicable subheading for the sample A and sample B will be
5112.19.1001, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for woven fabrics of combed wool or of combed fine
animal hair, containing 85 percent or more by weight of wool or of fine
animal hair, other, tapestry fabric and upholstery fabrics of a weight
exceeding 300 g/m2. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
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,
Jean F. Maguire
