RE:  The tariff classification of two women's knit cardigans from
     Macau; replacing PD A85232.

Dear Ms. Barnett
     
     We refer to your letter of August 1, 1996 in which you
requested modification of District Ruling Letter PD A85232 which
was issued to you on July 16, 1996.  You indicated in your letter
that the ruling and the corresponding ruling request incorrectly
identified styles A589B and A589ZIP as 100% cotton garments.  You
now state that the correct fiber content is 100% polyester for
each cardigan. Each cardigan has long sleeves with buttoned
cuffs, a shirt-type collar, one chest pocket and a hemmed bottom
with two side slits.  Style A589B has a full-front opening with
buttoned closures and Style A589ZIP has a full-front, zippered
opening.

     Your samples are being returned.

     The applicable  subheading for styles A589B and A589ZIP will
be 6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's sweaters, pullovers....and
similar articles, knitted: of man-made fibers: other. The duty
rate will be 33.8% ad valorem.    
     
     Styles A589B and A589ZIP fall within textile category
designation 639.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements products of Macau are subject to quota restraints and
the requirement of a visa.
