RE: The tariff classification of polypropylene woven fabric from
Israel.
Dear Ms. Kearney:
In your letter dated July 9, 1992, on behalf of your client
Volta-Subcon Products Corp., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample of plain woven fabric that is
composed of 100% polypropylene material. The merchandise is
woven with polypropylene strips measuring approximately 2
millimeters (mm) in width. It contains 18 strips per inch in the
warp and 12 strips per inch in the filling. This product has a
tensile strength of 395 lbs. and will be used in manufacturing
large bags.
The applicable subheading for the polypropylene woven fabric
will be 5407.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of synthetic
filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of
heading 5404, woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like. The
rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 5407.20.0000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Israel, will be entitled to a
1.7 percent rate of duty under the United States-Israel Free
Trade Area Implementation Act upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
