RE:  The tariff classification of a lady's knitted garment,
     style MS1425 (prototype), from China or Colombia.

Dear Mr. Alexander:

     In your letter dated April 29, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     This long-legged, sleeveless, one-piece garment is
manufactured from cotton jersey fabric.  There are oversized
armhole openings, an oversized V-neck opening, stirrups, and a
pleated front.

     The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6114.20.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other women's knitted garments of
cotton.  The rate of duty will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.

     The garment falls within textile category designation 359. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China or Colombia are subject to quota restraints and a visa
requirement.

     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
