      RE: Revocation of HRL 084028 of May 5, 1989

      Dear Ms. Roesler:

           In HRL 084028 of May 5, 1989, we ruled on a 73" X 44" scarf from
      Nepal.  In that ruling, we looked to the TSUSA for guidance in
      classification.  Upon reconsideration, we believe that the result in
      HRL 084028 does not reflect the proper interpretation of the
      Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA).
      HRL 084028 is hereby revoked, pursuant to 19 CFR 177.9(d), to reflect
      the rational set forth in the enclosed ruling on a similar article.
      The scarf of HRL 084028 is properly classified in subheading
      6214.40.0000, HTSUSA, which provides for shawls, scarves, mufflers,
      mantillas, veils and the like, of articial fibers.  The textile
      category will remain 659.  The rate of duty will be 10.6 percent ad
      valorem.  This change will not be applied retroactively.

           The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided
      into parts.  If so, the 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 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.

















                                       -2-


           Due to the changeable nature of the statistical annotation (the
      ninth and tenth digits of the classification) and the restraint
      (quota/visa) categories, you should contact your local Customs office
      prior to importation of this merchandise to determine the current
      status of any import restraints or requirements.


                                      Sincerely,



                                      Harvey B. Fox
                                      Director, Office of
                                      Regulations and Rulings
