Dear Mr. Glover: In your letter dated April 22, 2011, on behalf of Treasure Garden Inc., Baldwin Park, CA, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The instant sample which was not identified by style or quality number, consists of a textile fabric that has been woven from polyester man-made fiber yarns that have been encased in polyvinyl chloride plastic prior to weaving. Specifically, you state that the material is of a 2/2 plain weave, weighs 517 grams per square meter (85% PVC/15% Polyester) and will be imported in widths of 180 cm/250 cm. The applicable subheading for the material, which we presume will be imported as roll goods, will be 5903.10.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, with plastics, with polyvinyl chloride, of man-made fibers, over 70 percent by weight of rubber or plastics, fabrics, of yarns sheathed with polyvinyl chloride, not otherwise impregnated, coated, covered or laminated. The duty rate will be Free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
