DECISION

The polyethylene sheets, the goods in issue in these appeals, are plastics and textile combinations. The woven layer of the goods in issue is entirely coated or covered on both sides with plastics. The Tribunal finds that such coating or covering can be seen with the naked eye with no account being taken of any resulting change of colour.

The goods in issue are therefore properly classified as other articles of plastic under tariff item 3926.90.99.

They are not classified as tarpaulins of other textile materials under tariff item 6306.19.00.

The appeals are allowed.
