RE:  The tariff classification of a "towel" from China.

Dear Ms. Peterson:

     In your letter dated August 2, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

      The sample submitted is a "towel" composed of woven textile
fabric and measures approximately 18 inches square.  The article
has two holes in one of the corners for attachment of a brass
grommet; at times it will be imported without holes.  The article
is used to wipe golf clubs. 

     The applicable subheading for the "towel", with or without
holes, will be 6307.90.9490, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other made up
articles...Other, other, other.  The rate of duty will be 7
percent ad valorem.

     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
