RE:  The tariff classification of textile ribbon garland from
     Taiwan

Dear Ms. Pearson:

     In your letter dated April 15, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     Three samples of textile ribbon garland accompanied your
request for a ruling.  Style 08890709300 is a 15 foot by 2.5 inch
wide dyed sheer woven ribbon garland composed of 100% polyester
with gold metallic yarn overlock stitching along all four edges.
It is manufactured with a sewn in metal wire along the lengthwise
edges and features overlock stitching which forms a hem on all
four edges.   Style 08890709302 is a 15 foot by 2.5 inch wide 
dyed sheer woven ribbon garland composed of 100% polyester.  It
is manufactured with a sewn in metal wire along the lengthwise
edges and features overlock stitching which forms a hem on all
four edges.  The last sample, identified as style 08890706625, is
a 15 foot by 2.5 inch wide dyed sheer woven ribbon garland with
gold metallic stitching along all four edges.  It is composed of
100% polyester.  The garland is manufactured with a sewn in metal
wire along the lengthwise edges and features overlock stitching
which forms a hem on all four edges.

     The applicable subheading for the three styles of the woven
ribbon garland will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for  other made up
articles, including dress patterns, other, other, other, other,
other.  The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Alan
