RE:  Requested modification of NYRL 840597

Dear Ms. Williams-Brinck:

     This ruling is in response to your letter of June 1, 1989,
requesting a modification of NYRL 840597, dated May 23, 1989
classifying a two piece ladies jogging suit of silk.

FACTS :

     The subject merchandise is a ladies' jogging suit top.  The
outer shell is of 100 percent silk and the lining, collar, cuffs,
and waistband are constructed of 100 percent cotton knit fabric.
Due to a clerical error, the top was classified under
6211.49.0060, HTSUSA, dutiable at 7.8 percent ad valorem, in
textile category 840.  This subheading provides for other
blouses, shirts, etc.   The proper classification is
6211.49.0010, HTSUSA, which provides for women's and girls'
garments containing 70 percent or more of weight of silk, tops.

HOLDING :

     The subject ladies' 100 percent silk top is classifiable in
6211.49.0010, HTSUSA, which provides for women's and girls' silk
tops.  The rate of duty is 7.8 percent ad valorem and there is no
textile category.

     NYRL 840597 is modified as indicated above.

                                Sincerely,



                                John Durant, Director
