RE: The tariff classification of ribbons and trim from Taiwan

Dear Ms. Pitts:

In your letter dated March 13, 2000, you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted samples of four items. M27TG461TN is described as a narrow woven pile fabric with a front, (we assume to mean “pile”) of 100 percent nylon. It measures 2.5 inches in width, 30 feet in length and has enclosed wire edges. M27TG491TN is described as a woven fabric of 65 percent nylon and 35 percent metallic fiber. It measures 2.5 inches in width and 30 feet in length. It has enclosed wire edges. Style M27TG568TF is a warp knit narrow fabric measuring 2.5 inches in width and 30 feet in length. It has enclosed wire edges. The fiber content is claimed to be 50 percent metallic and 50 percent nylon. Style M27TG589TF is a woven fabric cut and sealed to a 2.5 inch width and measuring 30 feet in length. Narrow woven fabric is affixed to either edge by two rows of stitching which also affix wires to the edges of the narrow fabric. It appears that this trimming was assembled in more than one manufacturing operation. The fiber content is stated to be 65 percent metallic and 35 percent nylon.

The applicable subheading for style M27TG461TN will be 5806.10.2800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for narrow woven fabrics, woven pile fabrics, of man-made fibers, other. The duty rate will be 8.8 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style M27TG491TN will be 5806.32.1090, HTS, which provides for narrow woven fabrics, of man-made fibers, ribbons, other. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style M27TG589TF will be 5808.90.0090, HTS, which provides for braids in the piece, ornamental trimmings in the piece, other, other. The duty rate will be 5.5 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style M27TG568TF will be 6002.20.6000, HTS, which provides for other knitted or crocheted fabrics, other, of a width not exceeding 30 cm, other, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 8 percent ad valorem.

Styles M27TG461TN and M27TG491TN fall within textile category designation 229. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Taiwan are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

Style M27TG568TF falls within textile category designation 222. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Taiwan are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web site at www.customs.gov. In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Camille Ferraro at 212-637-7086.
