RE:  The tariff classification of polyester textured yarn from
     India

Dear Mr. Shah:

     In your letter dated July 17, 1991 you requested a
classification ruling.

     You have submitted two samples of polyester textured yarns. 
The first is labeled "78/34," and the second is labeled "155/36." 
Apparently the first number indicates the denier of the yarn and
the number after the slash indicates the number of filaments in
the yarn.  The yarns will be used to make polyester fabric and
blended fabric.  Both samples are multifilament, single ply
yarns, which have been texturized by crimping or similar means.

     The applicable subheading for both yarns will be
5402.33.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for synthetic filament yarn...; textured
yarn; of polyesters; single yarn.  The duty rate will be 10% ad
valorem.

     These yarns fall within textile category designation 600. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of   
India are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

     The designated textile and apparel categories 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
