RE: The tariff classification of cotton bleached terry rags from
Pakistan.
Dear Mr. DeBruin:
In your letter dated February 19, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have enclosed three pieces of 100% cotton terry woven
material. Each piece measures approximately 20 inches by 24
inches. They are not soiled, but they do appear to have been torn
from used towels. They are roughly rectangular in shape, each
having three finished edges and one torn, ragged edge. One of the
pieces also has a V-shaped notch cut out of one of the finished
edges.
The applicable subheading for these rags will be 6310.10.-
2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for used or new rags, sorted, other, of cotton. The rate
of duty will be free.
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
