RE:  The tariff classification of a man's T-shirt from Costa
     Rica and Honduras.

Dear Mr. Schiller:

     In your letter dated May 13, 1996, and in your subsequent
submission dated June 25, 1996, you requested a tariff classifi-
cation ruling on behalf of Delta Apparel.
 
     Style 11744 is a man's all white T-shirt constructed from
100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric.  The garment
features a rib knit crew neckline; short, hemmed sleeves; and a
hemmed bottom.  You have indicated that Style 11744 will be
imported in sizes M, L, and XL.

     As requested, your sample will be returned.

     The applicable subheading for Style 11744 will be
6109.10.0005, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and sim-
ilar garments, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: men's or boys: 
T-shirts, all white, short hemmed sleeves, hemmed bottom, crew
or round neckline, without pockets, trim or embroidery.  The duty
rate will be 20.1 percent ad valorem.

     Style 11744 falls within textile category designation 352. 
 Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Costa Rica and Honduras are subject to a visa requirement and
quota restraints.
     
     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, 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 in-
spection 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 this 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
regarding this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary
Ryan at 212-466-5877.


                              Sincerely,
