NY 816444 November 14, 1995 CLA-2-63:R:N3:349 816444 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 6304.91.0020 Mr. William A. Vollmerhausen Kmart Corporation International Headquarters 3100 West Big Beaver Road Troy, MI 48084-3163 RE: The tariff classification of a car seat cover from Malaysia. Dear Mr. Vollmerhausen: In your letter dated September 26, 1995 you requested a classification ruling. You submitted a sample of a grey car seat cover. The cover is made of 74 percent cotton and 26 percent polyester knit fabric and it measures approximately 17 x 47-1/2 inches. It contains a very thin lamination of polyester foam which is approximately 1/8 inch thick. The article is designed to be slipped on over the front seat of an automobile and secured in place with elastic. This cushion cover is designed for bucket seats. The applicable subheading for the car seat cover will be 6304.91.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: knitted or crocheted... of cotton. The duty rate will be 10.9 percent ad valorem. The car seat cover falls within textile category designation 369. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa. 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. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 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 212-466-5854. Sincerely, Roger J. Silvestri Director National Commodity Specialist Division
