SEC. 2. In order to insure a correct interpretation of the provision 
"waterproof cloth" in paragraph 907, Tariff Act of 1930, it is hereby 
declared that it was and is the true intent and meaning of paragraph 
907 to limit the term "waterproof", when applied to cloth, "wholly or 
in chief value of cotton or other vegetable fiber, whether or not in part 
of India rubber", to cloths of a kind generally used in the manufacture 
of articles which are designed to afford protection against water to the 
extent expected in raincoats, protective sheeting, dress shields, um-
brellas, and similar articles. Even when cloth possesses water 
repelling characteristics, it is not classifiable as waterproof cloth with-
in the meaning of paragraph 907, Tariff Act of 1930, unless it is of a 
kind generally used in the manufacture of articles of the class specified 
in the preceding sentence.
