RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's blouse from
Colombia. 

Dear Mr. Schiller:

     In your letter dated April 29, 1991, on behalf of your
client, The Hartwell Company, you requested a classification
ruling. Although you state that "The garment is to be produced in
Colombia from fabric cut-to-pattern in the United States", your
inquiry poses no questions concerning the eligibility for entry
at reduced duty under the provisions of heading 9802.00.80, HTS. 


     The submitted sample, style number A1408324, is a woman's
snug-fitting, sleeveless blouse, manufactured from 100% cotton,
woven fabric. The garment has a full frontal opening secured by
five buttons, a sweetheart neckline, and front panels which are
pointed at the bottom. The sample is being returned under
separate cover. 

     The applicable subheading for the blouse will be
6206.30.3040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's cotton blouses.  The rate of
duty will be 16.4 percent ad valorem.
     
     The blouse falls within textile category designation 641. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Colombia are not presently subject to visa requirements or quota
restraints.  
          
     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,
