RE: The tariff classification of cotton woven fabric from
Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Clarke:
In your letter dated May 25, 1993, on behalf of your client
Emcee International, Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted sample is a plain woven fabric that is
composed of 100% cotton. It is constructed using 21/1 c.c. yarns
in both the warp and filling. Based upon Customs laboratory
analysis, this merchandise contains 27 single yarns per
centimeter in the warp and 23 single yarns per centimeter in the
filling. The fabric is printed and weighs 135.64 g/m2. The
average yarn number has been calculated to be 36 in the metric
system.
The applicable subheading for this woven fabric will be
5208.52.3040, 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 not more than 200
g/m2, printed, plain weave, weighing more than 100 g/m2, other, of
number 42 or lower number, sheeting. The rate of duty will be
9.6 percent ad valorem.
This woven fabric falls within textile category designation
313. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Pakistan are subject to quota restrictions and 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
Area Director
New York Seaport
