RE: The tariff classification of textile ribbons, trimmings and narrow fabric from India and Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Andrews:

In your letter dated June 4, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.

Four samples were submitted. They were described as follows:

The fiber content is stated to be 70 percent metallic, 25 percent rayon and 5 percent plastic pearls. The beads are threaded onto the fabric as it is formed. The fabric appears to be made on a warp knit machine. The tassels are not a separate attachment to the fabric but are created from the threads which form the fabric. The country of origin is India.

Style 827TR115TN is a ten yard roll of 2 1/2 inch wide flocked woven ribbon with wired edges and gold painted "Merry Christmas" lettering. The fiber content is stated to be 80 percent nylon and 20 percent polyester. The country of origin is Taiwan.

The ribbon has wired edges and the fiber content is stated to be 60 percent nylon and 40 percent polyester. The center ribbon appears to be stamped or impressed into the base ribbon. It is not an integrally woven center portion of the base ribbon but is attached to the top of the base ribbon. The country of origin is Taiwan.
