RE: The tariff classification of a pillow cover from China
Dear Ms. Tovar:
In your letter dated January 21, 2013 you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Revman International.
The submitted sample, Style “Metallic Circles,” is a pillow cover. The pillow cover is made from a cotton knit fabric laminated with a layer of compact polyurethane. The cover measures 16 inches square. It features a zippered opening.
In your letter you suggest the classification of the item under 3924.90.56, HTSUS, as a household article of plastic. The pillow cover is considered to be constructed of a textile fabric rather than a Chapter 39 plastic.
The applicable subheading for the pillow cover will be 6304.91.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: knitted or crocheted… of cotton. The duty rate will be 5.8 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 John Hansen at 646-733-3043.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Russo
