     DATE OF INQUIRY   :      July 30, 1991

  DESCRIPTION OF
  MERCHANDISE       :      The submitted sample, style 0104, is a

                           The bag has double leather shoulder
                           straps.  The inside provides a large
                           open storage area with a zippered
                           change pocket.  The top closes by a
                           snap closure and/or a dog leash clasp,
                           which draws the gussets together at
                           the top. 

  HTS PROVISION     :      Travel, sports and similar bags, with
                           outer surface of textile materials, of
                           vegetable fibers and not of pile or

  TEXTILE CATEGORY  :      369

  IMPORT RESTRAINTS/
  REQUIREMENTS      :      Subject to a visa requirement and
                           quota restraints based upon
                           international textile trade
                           agreements.  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 subject to frequent
                           renegotiations and changes, to obtain
                           the most current information
                           available, we suggest that you check,
