RE: The tariff classification of washcloth from China

Dear Ms. Aldinger:

In your letter dated February 20, 2007 you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted samples are identified as item #951741 “Deluxe Washcloths 6 Pack”. The washcloth is made from 100 percent cotton terry fabric. It measures 12 inches square and the edges are finished with an overcast stitch. One end of the cloth features a flat woven design. Each pack will include green, ivory and blue washcloths.

The applicable subheading for item #951741 will be 6302.60.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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 9.1 percent ad valorem.
