RE: The tariff classification of 100% silk jacquard woven fabric
from China.
Dear Mr. Zela-Koort:
In your letter dated November 9, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of woven fabric that is composed
of 100% silk. Your letter states that the red and black fabric
was printed. However, based on our examination, the merchandise
is composed of yarns of different colors and has been jacquard
woven. This fabric measures approximately 72.4 centimeters in
width and will be imported in various lengths.
The applicable subheading for the jacquard woven silk fabric
will be 5007.20.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of silk or of silk
waste, other fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of
silk or of silk waste other than noil silk, other, other. The
rate of duty will be 5 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
