RE:  The tariff classification of polyester open-work warp knit
fabric from    Costa Rica.

Dear Mr. Hernandez:

     In your letter dated April 17, 1991  (received in our office
on May 17, 1991), on behalf of Alfonso Sobrino Hnos. Co., you
requested a tariff classification ruling.       
  
     You have submitted five sample swatches of knitted fabrics
that will be used in the manufacture of draperies and curtains. 
The fabrics are made of 100% polyester fibers.  In your letter,
you described the merchandise as "fabric netting"; however, the
fabrics are not considered to be of net or real lace
construction.  The samples are open-work, raschel warp knit
fabrics that simulate the appearance of lace.  We assume that the
fabrics will be imported in the piece on rolls measuring over 12
inches in width.    

     The applicable subheading for the fabric will be
6002.43.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other knitted or crocheted fabrics,
other fabrics, warp knit..., of man-made fibers, open-work fabrics. 

     The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem.   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).




     
     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.



                                   Sincerely,

                                   
  
                                   Jean F. Maguire
