RE: The tariff classification of woven fabric from Russia.
Dear Mr. Belei:
In your letter dated February 16, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of plain woven fabric that is
identified as style #276, Byaz. Customs laboratory analysis
indicates that merchandise is composed of 100% unbleached cotton.
It is constructed using 34.5 n.m. carded yarns in both the warp
and the filling. The merchandise contains 25.5 single yarns per
centimeter in the warp and 25.5 single yarns per centimeter in
the filling. This textile product weighs 146 g/m2 and it will be
imported in approximately 165 centimeter widths. The average
yarn number has been calculated to be 34 in the metric system.
The applicable subheading for the woven fabric will be
5208.12.4040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85
percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200
g/m2, unbleached, plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m2, of
number 42 or lower number, sheeting. 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
