Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6307.90.9989
Headings: 6307
Product description
The submitted sample is a rectangularly shaped product manufactured by sewing 6 layers of woven fabric together with a series of parallel groups of stitches. The woven fabrics are composed typically of man-made fiber (rayon) but may include woven fabrics composed of cotton and man-made blends, silk or linen. The product is then slashed between the rows of stitching with the cuts going through the top 5 layers creating a series of multilayered strips secured in the center by the stitching and adhering to the sixth layer of fabric which has not been cut. The strips naturally curl and the frayed edges of the strips create the illusion of large yarns similar to the look engendered by chenille yarn. The product is known as "Faux Chenille" and after importation will be cut to shape for incorporation into a variety of products such as toys, home furnishings and wearing apparel.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the "Faux Chenille" will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles.
