RE: The tariff classification of three open-work raschel knit fabrics from Mexico.

Dear Ms. Krule:

In your letter dated February 2, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted three sample swatches of raschel warp knit "lace" fabrics as follows: style number 34277, a 6 inch wide galloon (edging) made of 87% nylon/13% Lycra spandex; style number 34295, a 117 inch wide fabric made of 87 % nylon/13% Lycra spandex; and style number 100, a 72 inch wide fabric made of 100% nylon. All three styles are open-work warp knit "lace" fabrics with floral patterns. They are not of real lace construction. The Lycra spandex fibers in style numbers 34277 and 34295 are elastomeric yarns. Style number 34277 is a narrow fabric with two cut edges that are prevented from unraveling by their knit stitches. We assume that the fabrics will be imported in continuous lengths. As requested in your letter, the samples will be returned to you.

The applicable tariff provision for style number 34277 will be 6002.10.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for other knitted or crocheted fabrics; of a width not exceeding 30 centimeters (11.811 inches), containing by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread; other. The general rate of duty will be 9.3 percent ad valorem.

Style number 34295 will be classifiable under the provision for other knitted or crocheted fabrics; of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread; containing elastomeric yarn, in subheading 6002.30.2000, HTS. The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem. The style number 100 fabric will be classifiable under the provision for other knitted or crocheted fabrics; other fabrics, warp knit ...; of man-made fibers; open-work fabrics, in subheading 6002.43.0010, HTS. The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 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
