It weighs 900 grams per square meter (Textile 27%/PVC 73%). The third item, Sample 78, is similar in construction to Sample 332, except the PVC is cellular. Total weight is 330g (Textile 46%/PVC 54%).The fourth item, Sample 86, is also similar in construction to Sample 332, having a compact PVC coating on both sides. Total weight is 330g (Textile 46%/PVC 54%). The fifth and final item, Sample 92 is similar in construction to Sample 332, except the open meshes are much smaller and less apparent.

Sample 78 is classifiable in item 3921.12.1500, HTS, which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, cellular, of polymers of vinyl chloride, combined with textile materials, products with textile components in which man-made fibers predominate by weight over any other single textile fiber, not over 70 percent by weight of plastics. The duty rate is 8.5 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
