In your letter, you indicate that this item will be marketed as a cleaning cloth in the household chemical areas of both Wal-Mart and Sam’s Clubs. As requested the sample is being returned. The applicable subheading for the cloths will be 6307.10.1090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles, including dress patterns: floorcloths, dishcloths, dusters and similar cleaning cloths: dustcloths, mop cloths and polishing cloths, of cotton… other. The duty rate will be 4.3 percent ad valorem. The cloth falls within textile category designation 369. Currently items from Pakistan which fall under category designation 369-0 are not subject to quota or visa requirements.

In addition, textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 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.
