Dear Mr. Bolick:
In your letter dated June 26, 2013, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Photos and a material breakdown were provided.
Based on photos submitted, the sleeper deck covering is a part specifically cut and shaped to be placed over the bedframe of a pullout sofa-bed. The sleeper deck covering will be hand cut from 60% woven polyester material with a 40% PVC plastic coating backside made in China, and hand sewn from 100 polyester thread made in the United States. All labor and operations pertaining to cutting and sewing will be done in Honduras.
The applicable subheading for the sleeper deck covering will be 9401.90.5021, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof: Parts: Other: Other; Other of textile material, cut to shape.” The rate of duty will be free.

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 Neil H. Levy at (646) 733-3036.
