RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's sweater from China.

Dear Mr. Henry:

     In your letter dated July 22, 1996 you requested tariff
classification rulings for 6 styles.  You submitted one sample,
style number PF-26.  We can only rule on this style.  If you wish
to receive a written ruling on any or all of your other styles,
please request this in writing and submit a sample of each style
for which you require a ruling.
     
      Style number PF-26 is a woman's sweater constructed from
55% ramie, 45% cotton,  knit fabric.  The outer surface of the
sweater measures less than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the
horizontal direction.  The sweater features a round neckline;
shoulder pads; long sleeves; and 100% rayon decorative embroidery
on the front panel and the lower part of the sleeves.  The
neckline, sleeve openings and the bottom of the garment have a 
decorative scalloped finish.

     Your sample is being returned.

     The applicable subheading for style PF-26 will be
6110.90.9042, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's sweaters, knitted: of other
textile materials: other: other.  The duty rate will be 6% ad
valorem.

     Style PF-26 falls within textile category designation 845. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
China are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a
visa.

     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.  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 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 Mike
Crowley at 212-466-5852.



                                        Sincerely,
