Tariff classification
HTS codes: 3921.90.1950

Product description
While your letter mentions further manufacturing in Canada into specialized bags, etc., the classification of such goods would have to be the subject of a subsequent ruling request providing full details and samples. For the purpose of this letter we will address the classification of piece goods, only. You supplied four samples identified as Sampson –18 ounces (sq./yd.) and Hercules – 12 ounces (sq./yd.) in three different colors, respectively. The four materials all consist of woven fabrics composed of polyester man-made fibers that have been completely encased with compact polyvinyl chloride plastics material. In your letter you provided tariff classification 3921.90.1919 which appears to be from the Canadian tariff.
