RE: The tariff classification of a man-made printed and flocked upholstery fabric from Israel
Dear Ms. Miller:
In your letter dated October 8, 2015, you requested a tariff classification ruling. One sample was submitted with your ruling request.
Pattern 023 Imperial is a printed flocked fabric with the look and texture of a plush pile fabric, visually reminiscent of pebbled beach sand. According to initial and subsequent communications, as well as visual examination of the sample, the substrate is a woven fabric composed of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, covered with flocking composed chiefly of man-made fibers. The total weight of the fabric is 280 g/m2. Your correspondence indicates that the fabric will be imported in widths of 54 inches and will be used for upholstery.
The applicable subheading for Pattern 023 Imperial will be 5907.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated, or covered, other, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be Free.
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 assumption that the subject goods, in their condition as imported into the United States, conform to the facts and the description as set forth both in the ruling request and in this ruling. In the event that the facts or merchandise are modified in any way, you should bring this to the attention of Customs and you should resubmit for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2. You should also be aware that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic verification by Customs.
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 Maribeth Dunajski at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Gwenn Klein Kirschner
