RE: The tariff classification of three cotton/polyester and polyamide/polyester/cotton blend weft knit fabric from the Netherlands.

Dear Mr. Schrader:

In your letter dated January 26, 2001, on behalf of your client Burlington Industries, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Weighing approximately 600 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 210 to 225 centimeter widths. It is characterized by a double knit construction and contains polyamide fiber inserted during the knitting process between the layers of knit fabric. This “stuffing fiber” provides the fabric with extra bulk and cushioning. Your correspondence indicates that this product will be used as mattress ticking.

Style 50310 is a knit pile fabric composed of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. The pile, which you indicate is formed by the insertion of cotton sliver during the knitting process, is wholly composed of cotton. Weighing approximately 365 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 210 centimeter widths. Your correspondence indicates that this product will be used as mattress ticking.
