RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's jacket from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Hagarman:

     In your letter dated July 24, 1991, on behalf of Hartmarx Retail M
& M Corporation, you requested a classification ruling.

 
     The sample submitted is a woman's thigh-length jacket constructed
of a multi-colored print design outershell composed of a woven 84%
rayon/ 16% wool fabric.  The garment is lined with a woven 100% acetate
fabric and has a non-woven batting fill.

     The jacket is a cardigan style garment with a V-shaped neckline
and a full front opening secured by five buttons.  The garment has long
sleeves with ribbed-knit fabric sleeve cuffs and waistband.  There are
two front pockets located below the waist.

     The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.

     The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6202.93.5010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for  other women's anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles, of
man-made fibers.  The duty rate will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.

     The jacket falls within textile category designation 635.  Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are
not presently subject to quota restraints but a visa is required.

     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
