RE:  The tariff classification of polyester woven fabric from
Pakistan.

Dear Ms. Fontana: 

     In your letter dated August 9, 1991, on behalf of your client
Asadullah Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     You have submitted a sample of jacquard woven fabric that is
printed.  Information provided indicates that this merchandise is
composed of 100% textured polyester filament yarns.  The fabric
contains 39.3 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 36.2 single
yarns per centimeter in the filling.  This product is constructed using
50 denier yarns in the warp and 75 denier yarns in the filling.  It
weighs 74 g/m2 and will be imported in approximately 111 centimeter
widths.  The sample is being returned to you as requested.

     The applicable subheading for the polyester woven fabric will be
5407.54.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including
woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404, other woven
fabrics, containing 85 percent or more by weight of textured polyester
filaments, printed, weighing not more than 170 g/m2, other.  The rate
of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.

     The jacquard woven fabric falls within textile category
designation 619.  Based upon international textile trade agreements,
products of Pakistan are subject to visa requirements.

     The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into
parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject
merchandise may be affected.  Since part categories are the result of
international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent
renegotiations and changes, to obtain the most current information
available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment,
the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office.

     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,
