RE:  The tariff classification of embroidered fabric from Turkey

Dear Mr. Reibschied:

     In your letter dated August 12, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     You have submitted a sample swatch of decorative embroidered
fabric called "Net Stretch Embroidery."  No style number is
indicated.  The fabric has small eyelet embroidery work made on
the Schiffli machine.  The fabric is also embroidered with
stitches forming leaf or flower designs on the sheer, open-work
warp knit net ground fabric.  You state that the contents by 
weight of the sample's net ground fabric is 80% nylon and 20%
Lycra (spandex).  We assume that these fabrics will be imported
in continuous lengths in widths exceeding 30 centimeters (cm) but
not exceeding 225 cm, and that the fabrics' other patterns or
"assorted designs" will have similar embroidery work with
identical knitted ground fabrics.   

     The applicable subheading for the fabrics will be
5810.92.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for embroidery in the piece, in strips or
in motifs; other embroidery; of man-made fibers; other; other;
other.  The rate of duty will be 13.7 percent ad valorem. 
Although this HTS subheading shows a textile category designation
of 229, Turkish-made embroidered fabrics are not subject to
visa/quota requirements.   

     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,
