RE:  The tariff classification of women's woven garments from
Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Kuffner:

     In your letter dated September 9, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number 214379, consists of a
woman's hip-length jacket and a pair of shorts. Both garments are
manufactured from 100% cotton, denim fabric. The jacket has long
sleeves without cuffs; lapels; and two welt pockets below the
waist. It also has a full frontal opening secured by four
buttons; a notched collar; a left breast pocket; small, front
yokes; a rear yoke; two folds on the lower back, each secured by
a tacked-on button near the bottom edge; and extensive
decoration on the front and the rear yoke consisting of metal
studs, braid, and rhinestones. The shorts feature a partially
elasticized waistband secured by three, button closures; a zip
fly front; simulated turned-up cuffs; two front pockets; and
front pleats. The shorts are also decorated with metal studs;
however, they have no rhinestones or braid on them.  
     
     The applicable subheading for the jacket will be
6202.92.2060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles of cotton.  The rate of duty will be 9.5 percent
ad valorem. The applicable subheading for the shorts will be
6204.62.4055, HTS, which provides for women's shorts of cotton.
The rate of duty will be 17.7 percent ad valorem.
     
     The jacket falls within textile category designation 335,
and the shorts fall within textile category designation 348. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to visa requirements.  
     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.  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, 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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.

                                   
                                   Sincerely,
