The fabric, which measures 54 inches in width, will be imported in the piece. The applicable subheading for the "Interlude" fabric will be 5801.90.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806; of other textile materials; of vegetable fibers, except cotton.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F.
