RE:  The tariff classification of a children's toy tent from      
     China.

Dear Mr. Scharton:

     In your letter dated April 22, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of The Original San Francisco
Toymakers.  

     The children's toy tent is constructed of manmade fabric.  
The tent measures approximately 78 by 40 inches with a height of 30
inches.  It is permanently mounted on flexible hoops which spring
to form a tent shape when pulled apart.  A sample of the tent was
submitted.

     The applicable subheading for the toy tent will be
6306.22.9030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for tents:  Of synthetic fibers:  Other,
other.  The rate of duty will be 9.8 percent ad valorem.

     The dome tent falls within textile category designation 669. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Malaysia are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.  

     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.  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 Part 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.  


                              Sincerely,
                                  
  
                              Kathleen M. Haage
