The towel is made of 100 percent cotton woven fabric and measures approximately 18 x 28 inches. All four edges of the towel are hemmed. It is of waffle weave construction and has four flat woven stripes which contain a jacquard pig design. The applicable subheading for the dish towel will be 6302.91.0035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen: other: of cotton... other: towels: jacquard figured.

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).
