state that the item is used as a swim suit cover and is called a
"Sarong". The sample is being returned under separate cover.   

     The applicable subheading for the submitted sample will be

     The submitted sample falls within textile category

agreements, products of Mauritius are not presently subject to
visa requirements or quota restraints.

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the

                                   Sincerely,
