RE: The tariff classification of a narrow woven fabric, for use in various apparel applications, from Indonesia.

Dear Mr. Nagel:

In your letter dated March 21, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The instant sample is a narrow woven material, not a knit material as stated in your correspondence. You indicate it is composed of a 98% nylon man-made fiber/2% spandex blend. The material measures approximately ¾" in width and, we presume, will be imported in lengths.

The applicable subheading for the material will be 5806.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other narrow woven fabrics … of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 6.2 percent ad valorem.      

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Deborah Walsh at 646-733-3044.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
