RE: The tariff classification of seven plastics coated textile fabrics, for use in outdoor awnings, furniture upholstery and signs, etc., from France.

Dear Mr. Campbell:

In your letter dated August 19, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The supplier is Dickson Saint-Clair, France.

The second item, style LACOPAC, consists of a woven fabric composed of 100% polyester man-made fibers that has been coated/laminated on both sides with a compact polyvinyl chloride plastics material. You indicate that this material weighs 700 grams per square meter: 120g polyester/580g PVC.

The third item, style JETTEXMI, consists of a woven fabric composed of 100% polyester man-made fibers that has been visibly coated on one side with a compact polyurethane plastics material. You indicate that this material weighs 205 grams per square meter: 135g polyester/70g polyurethane.

The applicable subheading for styles JET 620, LACOPACS, JET 520, JET 550 and JET MESH will be 3921.90.1950, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, other than cellular, combined with a single textile material, other, weighing not more than 1.492 kg/m².
