RE:   The tariff classification of boys' woven swimsuits from Hong
      Kong.

Dear Ms. Farrell:

      In your letter dated July 17, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of USA Classic, Inc.

      The submitted samples (Style Nos. BS 292-2513, BS 292-2514,
BS 292-2515) are all boy's swimsuits with shells constructed from
100 percent cotton poplin, woven fabric.  Style No. BS 292-2513
features a fully elasticized waistband with a drawstring that ties on
the outside; a mesh liner; and hemmed leg openings.  Style No. BS
292-2514 has the same features, except that it has two inset
pockets at side seams and the drawstring is tunneled through a
piece of self-fabric just below the outside of the waistband. Style
No. BS 292-2515 has the same features as Style No. BS 292-2513
except that it has two inset pockets at the side seams.

      As requested, your samples will be returned.

      The applicable subheading for these swimsuits will be
6211.11.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: track suits, ski-suits and swimwear;
other garments: swimwear: men's or boys': other: of cotton: boys'. 
The duty rate will be 8 percent ad valorem.

      These garments fall within textile category designation 359. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong
Kong are subject only to visa requirements.

      The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements applicable
to the subject merchandise may be affected.  Since part categories
are the result of international bilateral agreements which are sub-
ject 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 this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,



                                                 Jean F. Maguire
