RE:  The tariff classification of a women's blouse from India

Dear Ms. Burgos:

     In your letter received on July 23, 1996, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Calvin Klein Jeanswear Co. 
The sample submitted with your request will be returned to you
under separate cover.
     
     Style EJ64316 is a shirt constructed from 100 percent woven
cotton fabric.  The short sleeved shirt features a button-down
collar, a chest pocket with a button closure,  a full front
opening secured by six buttons and a shirt-tail bottom.  Although
the shirt has a left over right closure, the cut of the garment
and submitted size specifications indicate that this shirt is
clearly designed for women.

     The applicable subheading for style EJ64316 will be
6206.30.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts and
shirt-blouses: of cotton: other: other: with two or more colors
in the warp and/or the filling: women's.  The duty rate will be
16.2 percent ad valorem.

     Style EJ64316 falls within textile category designation 341. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
India are subject to quota restraints and a visa requirement.

     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.  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.  If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Patricia
Schiazzano at (212) 466 - 5866.



                                        Sincerely,
