N306521 October 28, 2019 MAR-2 OT:RR:NC:N4:463 CATEGORY: Marking Robert J. Leo Meeks, Sheppard, Leo & Pillsbury Attorneys at Law 570 Lexington Avenue, 24th Floor New York, NY 10022 RE: The marking of a quilt from Pakistan. Dear Mr. Leo: In your letter dated October 1, 2019, on behalf of your client Pem-America, Inc. of New York (“Pem-America”), you requested a marking ruling. No sample is submitted. The quilt, subject of this ruling, does not contain embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping exceeding 6.35 mm or applique work. The quilt, style number QS3074RSFQ-00, measures 90” x 94” and is comprised of a 100% cotton fabric on the face and reverse. MARKING Section 304, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304), provides that, unless excepted, every article of foreign origin (or its container) imported into the U.S. shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article (or its container) will permit, in such a manner as to indicate to the ultimate purchaser in the U.S. the English name of the country of origin of the article. You request if the marking of “Fabric Made in Pakistan, Finished in China” is acceptable. The proposed marking of “Fabric Made in Pakistan, Finished in China” may mislead or confuse the ultimate purchaser as to the actual country of origin of the finished good. The purpose of 19 CFR 134.46 is to prevent the possibility of misleading or deceiving the ultimate purchaser as to the actual origin of the imported article. The proposed marking of “Fabric Made in Pakistan, Finished in China” would not be acceptable because it merely indicates that the fabric, as opposed to the quilt, is made in Pakistan. If you wish to mark the quilt “Made in Pakistan, Cut and Sewn in China”, the marking requirements of 19 U.S.C. 1304 and 19 CFR 134.46 would be satisfied per Headquarters Ruling Letter, (HRL) 560676 dated January 5, 1998. 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.
