RE: The tariff classification of 100% cotton twill woven fabric of
yarns of different colors from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Weiner:
In your letter dated November 2, 1998 you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, designated as style Muddy Water-overdyed
denim code 612 61, is a 2X1 twill woven fabric composed of 100%
cotton. It is manufactured by overdyeing a indigo denim fabric
with a brown dye which results in a fabric with a blue/black warp
and a brown filling. This product contains 26 single yarns per
centimeter in the warp and 16 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. Weighing 373 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 155
centimeter widths. It will be used in the production of trousers
after importation.
The applicable subheading for the twill woven fabric will be
5209.43.0030, 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 more than 200 g/m2,
of yarns of different colors, other fabrics of 3-thread or 4-thread
twill, including cross twill, not napped. The general rate of duty
will be 8.7 percent ad valorem.
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 Alan Tytelman at 212-466-5896.
