RE:   The tariff classification of men's woven shirts from
      Bangladesh and Honduras.

Dear Ms. Perez:

      In your letter dated July 18, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Harper Industries, Inc.

      Style No. 0263T is a man's long sleeved shirt constructed
from a yarn dyed, 100 percent cotton, flannel fabric.  It features a
full front opening with seven button closures; a pointed collar; a
patch pocket with a button closure on the left chest; and a
hemmed bottom.

      Style No. 0363 is a man's long sleeved shirt constructed from
a yarn dyed, 100 percent acrylic, flannel fabric.  It features a full
front opening with seven button closures; a pointed collar; a patch
pocket with a buttoned, flap closure on each side of the chest; and
a hemmed bottom.

      As requested, your samples will be returned.

      The applicable subheading for Style No. 0263T will be
6205.20.2046, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' shirts: of cotton: other:
other: other: with two or more colors in the warp and/or the
filling: napped.  The duty rate will be 21 percent ad valorem.

      The applicable subheading for Style No. 0363 will be
6205.30.2050, HTS, which provides for: men's or boys' shirts: of
man-made fiber: other: other: other: with two or more colors in the
warp and/or the filling: men's.  The duty rate will be 30.9›/kg +
27.5 percent ad valorem.

      Style No. 0263T  falls within textile category designation 340. 
Style No. 0363  falls within textile category designation 640.  Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Bangladesh
are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.  Products of
Honduras are not subject to quota restraints or 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
