Brogdon YKK (USA) Inc. 3340 Chestney Road Macon, GA 31217 RE: The tariff classification of two narrow polyester warp knit loop pile fabrics from Mexico. Correction to Ruling Number N288488. Dear Ms. Brogdon: This replaces Ruling Number N288488, dated August 24, 2017, which contained a clerical error. An error was found with the classification at the 8-digit level. A complete corrected ruling follows. In your undated letter received July 24, 2017, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Two samples were provided. YKK Quickloop D11-30MM and D11-38MM are narrow warp knit fabrics, white (unbleached) with black threads creating four lengthwise stripes, characterized by a looped pile section forming the center third of the fabric in the warp direction. Information provided with this request and previously, as well as visual examination of the samples, indicates that these products are composed wholly of polyester, are of warp knit looped pile construction, 30 or 38 millimeters wide, and weigh 191.2 g/m2. They do not bear any adhesive or backcoating. Your letter states that these narrow fabrics will be imported in a continuous loose form, festooned into a box in lengths of 1,400 meters. You indicated that the narrow knit looped pile fabrics will be sewn onto the inside of seat covers for use in building automotive seats. The applicable subheading for YKK Quickloop D11-30MM and D11-38MM will be 6001.22.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Pile fabrics, including “long pile” fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted: Looped pile fabrics: Of man-made fibers.
