RE:  The tariff classification of gloves from Korea.

Dear Mr. Liberati:

     In your letter dated April 17, 1991, on behalf of Man How,
Inc., you requested a classification ruling. 

     You have submitted three samples.  Your first submitted
sample, style SGW 101, is a cotton knit glove cut and sewn from
pre-existing machine knit fabric.  This glove features
fourchettes, a side vent and has small PVC dots closely spaced on
the palm and the palm side of the thumb and fingers.  The
essential character of this glove is imparted by the palm.  Your
second sample, style NYL 301, is a nylon knit glove.  This glove
features fourchettes and a hemmed top of the wrist.  You stated
in a telephone conversation with this office, that the importer
plans to bring in the aforementioned glove in polyester and the
style will be POL 301. Your third sample, style COT 200, is a
cotton knit glove.  This glove features fourchettes, a side vent
and self capping on the top of the wrist. 

     The applicable subheading for style SGW 101 will be
6116.10.9010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: gloves, mittens and mitts impregnated, coated or
covered with plastics or rubber: other: with fourchettes:
containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made
fibers or other textile fibers, or any combination thereof:
subject to cotton restraints.  The duty rate will be 14 percent
ad valorem.

     The applicable subheading for POL 301 will be 6116.93.9020,
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: of synthetic fibers: other: other, with fourchettes. 
The duty rate will be 19.8 percent ad valorem.







     The applicable subheading for COT 200 will be 6116.92.6070,
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: of cotton: other: made from pre-existing machine knit
fabric, with fourchettes: other.  The duty rate will be 25
percent ad valorem.

     Styles SGW 101 and Cot 200 fall within textile category
designation 331.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Korea are subject to quota restraints and
visa requirements.

     Style POL 301 falls within textile category designation 631. 
Based upon international textile trade agreement, products of
Korea are subject to quota restraints and visa requirements. 

     The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts.  If so, 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 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 Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.



                                   Sincerely,



                                   Jean F. Maguire
