  1. Textiles Chapter 30

  2. What is a Textile Product • A Textile or Apparel product is any good classified in HTS 50 – 63 and the list in 102.21(b)(5). • See the list… now!!! • Keep this section open for this lecture

  3. Textile Vocabulary • De Minimis – allows a textile or apparel good to contain a small percent by weight of foreign fibers or yarns. Usually 7%. • Elastomeric Yarn – Like a spandex type yarn. A textile or apparel good containing elastomeric yarns in the component that determines classification of the good is eligible for preferential treatment if the elastomeric yarn is wholly formed in the territory of a party to the agreement. (In short, normally the elastomeric yarn must be made in the country of the trade program)

  4. Textile Vocabulary Cont. • TPL – Temporary Preference Level. Similar to a tariff rate quota. A certain quantity of goods can enter during an annual period and receive a reduced rate or duty free treatment even though they do not meet tariff shift rules. • QIZ – Qualified Industrial Zone. Jordan and Egypt have a QIZ.

  5. Textile Vocabulary Cont. • Visible Lining Rule – Certain fabrics which are used as a visible lining material in coats, anoraks, suits, jackets, skirts, and similar articles, must be formed and finished in the Country of the trade program to claim preferential treatment. The rule applies to the visible lining fabric in the main body of the garment, excluding sleeves, and does not apply to removable linings.

  6. Textiles Rules of Origin 102.21 • Where the fabric is woven, knitted, needled, or created (Ex. A roll of fabric) • Articles such as blankets, linens, labels, curtains, and scarves, Country of Origin is where the fabric was created not where product is finished • The Country of Origin for most yarn is where the staple fibers are spun into a yarn.

  7. Textile Rules Continued • 1. Where good is wholly obtained or produced • 2. Where the foreign material undergoes tariff shift 102.21e (see example on next slide) • 3. Where good is knit to shape (def. .21(b)(3)) • 4. Where good was wholly assembled • 5. Where “the” most important assembly process occurred • 6. Where “an” important assembly process occurred

  8. Textiles Rules of Origin 102.21 • Tariff Shift - the country of origin of a textile or apparel product may be determined by a shift (manufacturing process) from one Harmonized Tariff (HTS) Number to another - as listed in the tariff shift rules. • Example: classification for headings 5204 through 5207 (cotton yarns) states that these products can be from any other heading provided that the change or shift results from a spinning process. So, cotton yarns will be considered country of origin “X” if cotton yarns are formed from a spinning process in country “X”.

  9. Textile Marking • 1. Country of Origin, 2. fiber content, 3. care instructions, 4. manufacturer or importer. • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) allows registration of the manufacturer or importer names. When a manufacturer registers with the FTC, they receive an “RN” code, which can be used in place of manufacturer name.

  10. Redelivery • Any textile that is entered is considered a conditional release for 180 days from the date of release for determination of Country of Origin. 141.113(b) • CBP can demand redelivery for up to 180 days from date of release if country of origin was misrepresented to CBP.

  11. Misc. • Quota categories • 200 series -cotton and/or man made fiber • 300 series -cotton (likely when item is 50% or more by weight) • 400 series -wool (likely when item is 17% or more by weight) • 600 series -man made fiber (likely when item is 50% or more by weight) • 800 series -silk blends or non cotton vegetable fibers • Textile Trade Programs

  12. Would a garment classifiable in Chapter 62 and shipped to the U.S. qualify for treatment under the U.S. - Australia Free Trade Agreement (UAFTA) if it is manufactured in Australia of Australian silk (94%), elastomeric yarn made in Peru (3%) and cotton lace made in Ethiopia (3%)? • A. Yes, because the chief weight of the fabric is made in the territory of a UAFTA party • B. No, because the cotton lace trimming is not made in the territory of a UAFTA party • C. Yes, because the de minimus rule states “an originating textile or apparel good may contain 7% by weight of foreign fibers or yarns” • D. No, because the fact that the cotton lace is made in Ethiopia would shift the garment to be considered under the African Growth and Opportunity Act • E. No, because the elastomeric yarn is made in Peru (answer is E)
