          RE:  Classification of a women's jumper

          Dear Mr. Siegal:

              This is in response to your letter of January 28, 1988, on
          behalf of your client Fashionmakers Ltd., requesting a ruling on
          the tariff classification of a women's jumper.

          FACTS:

              The submitted sample, style 1086, is a women's jumper
          manufactured from a 100 percent cotton, yarn dyed, plaid, woven
          fabric.  The garment has a full front opening secured by seven
          buttons.  It has a dropped and gathered waist, two large pockets
          below the waist and a patch pocket in the chest area.  The
          armholes are oversized.  The garment is designed to be worn with
          a shirt or blouse as it lacks appropriate coverage in the chest
          area.  The garment will be brought in from various sources in
          several style numbers.  It will be manufactured from fabrics of
          cotton and man-made fibers.

          ISSUE:

              Whether the submitted sample is properly classified as a
          women's jumper.

          LAW AND ANALYSIS:

              There is no dispute as to identification of the garment at
          issue.  It is a women's jumper.  All that is left to do is to
          find the proper item in which to classify the garment in the
          Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (TSUSA) and the
          proper subheading in the proposed Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
          the United States Annotated (HTSUSA).  This is not difficult as
          jumpers fall within a specific statistical breakout.

          HOLDING:

              The women's jumper, when in chief value of cotton, is
          classifiable in item 384.5212, TSUSA, textile category 359.  The
          rate of duty is 8 percent ad valorem.  When in chief value of
          man-made fibers, the jumper is classifiable in item 384.9442,
          TSUSA, textile category 659.  The rate of duty is 17 percent ad
          valorem.

              Under the proposed HTSUSA, the women's jumper, when in chief
          weight of cotton, is classifiable in subheading 6211.42.0060,
          HTSUSA, textile category 359.  The rate of duty is 8.6 percent ad
          valorem.  When in chief weight of man-made fibers, the jumper is

          659.  The rate of duty is 17 percent ad valorem.  This
          classification represents the present position of the Customs
          Service under the proposed HTSUSA.  If changes occur before
          enactment, this advice may not continue to be applicable.

                                          Sincerely,
