RE:   The tariff classification of a man's woven swimsuit from the
      People's Republic of China or Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Dweck:

      In your letter dated July 12, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

      The submitted sample (Article Nos. 92-4465 and 82-3465
indicated on the attached ticket) is a man's swimsuit with a shell
constructed from 100 percent cotton, woven fabric.  It features a
fully elasticized waistband; an inside drawstring; a button closure
above the zippered front fly; a mesh liner; five belt loops; and
hemmed leg openings.  The garment also has an inset pocket at
each side seam; a change pocket on the inside of the waistband;
and an inset back pocket.

      The applicable subheading for this swimsuit will be
6211.11.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: track suits, ski-suits and swimwear;
other garments: swimwear: men's or boys': other: of cotton: men's. 
The duty rate will be 8 percent ad valorem.

      This garment falls within textile category designation 359. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China are subject to visa requirements and
quota restraints; products of Hong Kong are subject only to visa
requirements.

      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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,



                                                 Jean F. Maguire
                                                 Area Director
