RE: The tariff classification of two 100% rayon dyed woven fabrics from Turkey.

Dear Mr. Testa:

In your letter dated November 5. 2002, on behalf of your client Hi Fashion Fabrics, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples of woven fabric accompanied your request for a ruling. The first, designated as style “Corina”, is a dyed satin woven fabric composed of 55% staple rayon and 45% filament rayon. It contains 74 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 22 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. This product is manufactured using 120 denier filament rayon yarns in the warp and 21/1 c.c. staple rayon yarns in the filling. Weighing 240 g/m2, this fabric will be imported in 135 centimeter widths.

Style “Corina-1” is a dyed jacquard woven fabric composed of 55% staple rayon and 45% filament rayon. It is characterized by a floral motif.

This product is constructed using 120 denier filament rayon yarns in the warp and 21/1 c.c. staple rayon yarns in the filling.

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.
