RE: The tariff classification of cotton terry fabric from
Turkey.
Dear Mr. Ereren:
In your letter dated October 2, 1991 (received in our office
on October 21, 1991), you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
You have submitted a sample swatch of 100% cotton terry
fabric. It contains yarns of different colors. The terry fabric
is of woven pile construction, originally made with loops on both
sides. In finishing the fabric, one side was sheared to create a
plush or velour appearance, and the other side was left with
uncut loops. In your letter, you stated that the terry fabric
weighs 410 grams per square meter. It will be imported in
continuous lengths with a width of 150 centimeters. The fabric
will be used to manufacture towels and men's or women's robes.
The sample has no lines of demarcation, and we assume that the
fabric will be imported without lines of demarcation or hems.
The applicable subheading for the fabric will be
5802.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for terry toweling and similar woven terry
fabrics, other than narrow fabrics of heading 5806;...; terry
toweling and similar woven terry fabrics, of cotton, other. The
rate of duty will be 11.1 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
