RE: The tariff classification of a 100% cotton jacquard woven fabric from
Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Mahmood:
In your letter dated August 20, 1993 you requested a classification
ruling.
The submitted sample, designated as style 199-208-01/55, is a jacquard
woven fabric composed of 100% cotton. Laboratory analysis indicates that it
contains 41 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 32 single yarns per
centimeter in the filling. It is constructed using 20/1 c.c. yarns in the
warp and 10/1 c.c. yarns in the filling. Weighing 332.8 g/m2, this fabric
will be imported in 137 centimeter widths. This product has been
manufactured with yarns of different colors.
The applicable subheading for this jacquard woven fabric will be
5209.49.0020, 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, jacquard woven, of a width exceeding 127 centimeters. The duty rate
will be 8.9 percent ad valorem.
This fabric falls within textile category designation 220. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Pakistan are subject to
visa requirements.
The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into
parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject
merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of
international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent
renegotiations and changes, to obtain the most current information
available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the
Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at
your local Customs office.
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
