             RE:  Revocation of District Ruling Letter (DRL) 837402

             Dear Ms. Dulong:

                   On March 9 you were sent DRL 837402.  This ruling
             classified a women's cotton pullover blouse, not knitted or
             crocheted, under subheading 6211.42.0050, Harmonized Tariff
             Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), a provision
             for women's other cotton garments including tops.  This
             decision was based on a mistaken application of the rules for
             knitted or crocheted garments.

                   Nothing precludes the garment from classification as a
             blouse.  The Explanatory Notes, the official interpretation of
             the HTSUSA at the international level, for Chapter 62, indi-
             cate that garments classified as blouses are not required to
             have an opening at the neckline.

                   The blouse, Style 71-68A, is properly classified under
             subheading 6206.30.3010, HTSUSA, textile category 341, a
             provision for women's other cotton blouses with two or more
             colors in the warp and/or the filling.

                   DRL 837402 is revoked.

                   This letter will be effective on the date issued unless
             you can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Customs Service
             that you have relied on DRL 837402 to your detriment.  In the
             latter case, a delayed effective date may be allowed.

                                        Sincerely,



                                        John Durant, Director
                                        Commercial Rulings Division
