RE: The tariff classification of jacquard woven upholstery fabric from Italy.

Dear Mr. Pollack:

In your letter dated December 19, 1997 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Three samples of jacquard woven upholstery fabric accompanied your request for a ruling. The first, identified as style Straight Away (mill ref. Lutetia), is a jacquard woven upholstery fabric composed of 58% cotton and 42% staple polyester. This product is manufactured with yarns of different colors, features a geometric pattern and is characterized by having been double woven. Weighing 486 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 138 centimeter widths.

Style Perfect Candor (mill ref. Segara), is a jacquard woven upholstery fabric composed of 55% cotton and 45% staple polyester. This product is manufactured with yarns of different colors, features a textured appearance and is characterized by having been double woven. Weighing 451 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 138 centimeter widths.

Style Fair & Square (mill ref. Yastik), is a jacquard woven upholstery fabric composed of 59% cotton and 41% staple polyester.
