All the materials, per the representative samples submitted, consist of textile fabrics coated on one surface with textile flock. They are all constructed and finished to create such surface effects ranging from velvet, corduroy and pile to imitation leather and suede.

The classification of these materials is predicated upon the composition of the base fabrics only. You have both woven and knit base fabric constructions and the fiber content of these base fabrics were not identified. If the woven or knit base materials are of man-made fibers, the applicable subheading for the product will be 5907.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered, ... not laminated, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 4.6 percent ad valorem.

The duty rate is 4.6 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
