Dear Ms. Klingbeil: In your letter dated November 6, 2002 you requested a classification ruling. The submitted sample, designated as style “Vinde Mini” article 50058343, is a bleached woven fabric composed of 72% cotton and 28% filament polyester. This product is characterized by having been woven as a plain weave except that each group of two consecutive filling picks is woven as one. The filling picks that form this fabric alternate between 20 denier filament polyester yarns and 40/1 c.c. cotton yarns while the warp is constructed with 20 denier filament polyester yarns. Your correspondence indicates that this fabric contains 43 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 36 single yarns per centimeter in the filling. Based on the data provided the average yarn number for this product has been calculated to be 101 in the metric system. The cotton yarns have been burnt out of selected areas of the fabric creating a checkerboard appearance. Weighing 78 g/m2, this item will be imported in 150 centimeter widths.
