Dear Ms. McKnight:
In your letter dated February 27, 2013 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Welspun USA Inc.
The submitted samples, identified as Item# 890104519603, are two pillowcases. They are made from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The fabric is not printed. The open end of the pillowcase is finished with a 4-inch wide self-hem. It has multiple folds of fabric sewn with a single needle stitch. The folds create an effect that has the appearance of a row of piping. The pillowcases are packaged in a small self-fabric bag.
The applicable subheading for the pillowcases will be 6302.31.9010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen: other bed linen: of cotton: other: not napped… pillowcases, other than bolster cases. The duty rate will be 6.7 percent ad valorem.
