RE:  The tariff classification of a woven, uncut warp pile fabric
     from Germany.

Dear Mr. Codgnotto:

     In your letter dated July 25, 1996, on behalf of Donghia
Textiles, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     You have submitted a sample swatch of woven, uncut warp pile
fabric described as "Terry towel fabric loop-de-loop 6680."  The
sample is not the type of fabric used as terry toweling, but it
appears to be the type used as upholstery fabric.  According to
information that you have supplied in response to our check-list
letter NY A85899 dated July 31, 1996, the breakdown of the
component fibers in the two-ply looped pile yarns is 52% cotton
and 48% polyester, by weight.  Also, you state that the fabric
weighs 518 grams per square meter.  We assume that the fabric,
which measures 54 inches in width, will be imported in the piece.


     The applicable subheading for the woven pile fabric will be
5801.24.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woven pile fabrics and chenille
fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806; of cotton;
warp pile fabrics, epingle (uncut).  The rate of duty will be
18.9 percent ad valorem.   

     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.  If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Jeff
Konzet at 212-466-5885.



                                        Sincerely,
