RE: The tariff classification of three PVC/Textile imitation leather fabrics, from Korea.

Dear Ms. Dunn:

In your letters dated August 23 and September 29, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Three representative samples were submitted. All consist of knit backing fabrics composed of a polyester/cotton blend (65%/35%) that have been laminated to an expanded polyvinyl chloride plastics material having a top compact layer. This PVC portion has in turn been dyed and embossed to simulate real leather. You provided the following weight specifications for the three materials: Style: PVC weight Fabric weight Total weight Cowboy (.9mm) 545g/yd 85g/yd 630g/yd (86.5%) (13.5%)

Sealskin (1.0mm) 715g/yd 85g/yd 800g/yd (89.4%) (10.6%)

Madrid (1.0mm) 817g/yd 85g/yd 902g/yd (90.6%) (9.5%)

The applicable subheading for the three materials will be 5903.10.2090 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, with polyvinyl chloride, of man-made fibers, over 70 percent by weight of plastics The rate of duty will be 4.2 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
