RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's knit nightdress from
Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Ball: 

     In your letter dated June 27,1991, and in a subsequent
letter dated July 17,1991, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.

     The submitted sample, style number 21062005, is a woman's
sleeveless nightdress made of 100 percent cotton knit fabric. 
The nightdress extends to the ankle and features an 8 inch slit
on the left side and a round neckline.
     
     The sample is being returned as you requested.
     The applicable subheading for style number 21062005 will be
6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit nightdresses of cotton. 
The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad valorem.
                                                                 
     Style number 21062005 falls within textile category
designation 351.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to visa
requirements and quota restraints.   

     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 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
