RE: The tariff classification of 100% polypropylene woven fabric from Guatemala.

Dear Mr. Benito:

In your letter dated August 20, 1992, received in this office September 3, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted a sample of plain woven fabric that is composed of 100% polypropylene. This fabric is woven from polypropylene strips that measure approximately 1 millimeter (mm) in width. It contains 14 strips per inch in the warp and 11 strips per inch in the filling. Your letter of inquiry indicates that this product will be used in the agricultural industry as shade cloth.

The applicable subheading for the polypropylene woven fabric will be 5407.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from material of heading 5404, woven fabric obtained from strip or the like. The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.

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
