RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's woven coat from
Indonesia. 

Dear Ms. Slocum:

     In your letter dated May 6, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number 6115, is a woman's coat,
whose outershell is manufactured from numerous "squares" of 100%
rayon, printed, woven fabric sewn together to form a patchwork
surface. The coat, which you describe as a "blazer", extends
slightly below the midthigh.  

     The coat has long sleeves without cuffs; a full lining; and
two pockets below the waist, inserted on the side seams. The coat
also has a full frontal opening secured by a loop and a metal
coin-like button, which is held in place by a knot in a small
piece of fabric-covered braid; a V-neckline; a back vent with
four coin-like metal buttons, each held in place like the front
closure; and shoulder pads.    

     The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6202.13.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's coats of man-made fibers. The
rate of duty will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.
     
     The coat falls within textile category designation 635. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Indonesia are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints. 
     
     
     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
