RE: The tariff classification of a towel and washcloths from China.

Dear Ms. Carpini:

In your letter dated October 16, 2004 you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted three samples. Style LV#WX6700 is a washcloth made from 100 percent cotton woven terry fabric. One side is sheared and the reverse has uncut loops. The washcloth measures 13.5 inches square. All four edges are hemmed. Style LV#WX6800 is a hand towel made from 100 percent cotton woven terry fabric. Both sides have uncut loops. All of the edges are hemmed and it measures 13 x 29 inches. One side of both the washcloth and towel are appliqued and embroidered with bear features. Sewn onto one side of both the washcloth and towel are fabric ties used when the items are rolled up.

Style LV#WX6900 is a washcloth made from 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester knit fabric. The cloth is made from chenille yarns. It measures 8 inches square. One corner has a loop for hanging.

The applicable subheading for style LV#WX6700 will be 6302.60.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen: toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry toweling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton other. The duty rate will be 9.2 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style LV#WX6800 will be 6302.60.0020, HTS, which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen: toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry toweling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton towels: other. The duty rate will be 9.2 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style LV#WX6900 will be 6302.91.0025, HTS, which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen: other: of cotton of pile or tufted construction: other. The duty rate will be 9.3 percent ad valorem.

Styles LV#W6700 and LV#WX6900 fall within textile category designation 369. Style LV#WX6800 falls within textile category designation 363. Based upon international textile trade agreements products falling within category designation 363 from China 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 Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas, which is available at our Web site at www.cbp.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 John Hansen at 646-733-3043.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
