Dear Mr. Alberdi: In your letter dated July 14, 1993, on behalf of your client Hylda Barros Cicero, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted two samples of woven fabric. One sample is composed of 100% jute and the other is composed of 100% ramie. Both fabrics are unbleached and woven with a basket weave characterized by two warp yarns and two filling yarns being woven as one. Each of the fabrics weigh 450 g/m2 and will be imported in 50 meter rolls. The fabric will be imported in 150 centimeter widths. The applicable subheading for the jute fabric will be 5310.10.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibers of heading 5303, unbleached, over 130 centimeters but not over 150 centimeters in width.

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.
