RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's pullover from Hong
     Kong.

Dear Ms. Brown:

     In your letter dated December 20, 1995, you requested a
tariff classification  ruling.  Your sample is being returned as
requested.
     
     Style number 94105E is a woman's pullover constructed from
100% cotton, ribbed knit fabric.  The outer surface of the
garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters,
horizontally.  The pullover features a boat neckline; short
sleeves; and a hemmed bottom.  The neckline and sleeve openings
are finished with decorative stitching.  

     The applicable subheading for the pullover will be
6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's pullovers, knitted: of cotton:
other.  The duty rate will be 19.9% ad valorem.

     The pullover falls within textile category designation 339. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Hong Kong are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of
a visa.

     The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected.  Part
categories are the result of international bilateral agreements
which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.  To
obtain the most current information available, we suggest that
you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on
Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of
the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at
your local Customs office.

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions
