RE:  The tariff classification of polyester stitch-bonded knit
fabric    from England.

Dear Mr. Stahl:

     In your letter dated July 10, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
         
     You have submitted a sample of 100% polyester nonwoven
fabric of stitch-bonded warp knit construction.  The fabric has
chain stitches formed by textile yarns.  It is not a quilted
fabric.  The weight of the fabric is approximately 260 grams per
square meter.  In your letter, you stated that the stitch-bonded
fabric will be imported in its greige state in widths of 70
inches put up on rolls.

     The applicable subheading for fabric will be 6002.43.0020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other knitted or crocheted  fabrics, other fabrics,
warp knit..., of man-made fibers, other, stitch-bonded goods. 
The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem.

     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
