RE: The tariff classification of wool woven fabric from South
Korea.
Dear Mr. Navarra:
In your letter dated September 11, 1992, on behalf of your
client PJR Creations, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
You have submitted a sample of fabric that is composed of
100% combed wool. This merchandise weighs 113.67 g/m2. It is
twill woven and printed with an intricate design. Your letter of
inquiry indicates that this fabric will be used in the
manufacture of neckties.
The applicable subheading for the printed woven fabric will
be 5112.11.2060, 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, of a weight not exceeding 200
g/m2, other, other. The rate of duty will be 36.1 percent ad
valorem.
This textile product falls within textile category
designation 410. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Korea are subject to visa requirements
and quota restraints.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the
Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available
for inspection at your local Customs office.
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
