RE:  The tariff classification of a men's knit pullover from Hong
     Kong.

Dear Mr. Navedo:

     In your letter dated July 19, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Pepe Jeans.
 
     Style 13117A is a men's pullover garment.  The outer shell is
constructed from 100 percent nylon, finely knit, dropped stitch
fabric.  The garment is fully lined with 100 percent polyester,
woven fabric.  Style 13117A is loose fitting and features a self-fabric spread collar; a partial front opening with a zipper
closure; long sleeves with buttoned cuffs; two zippered patch
pockets on the chest; a zippered pocket in the center of the back
panel into which the garment can be stuffed; and a hemmed bottom
with side slits and a tail.  There is a screen printed logo on the
left front pocket and on the back pocket.

     As requested, your sample will be returned.

     The applicable subheading for Style 13117A will be
6110.30.3050 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts,
waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of
man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: men's  or boys'.  The
duty rate will be 33.8 percent ad valorem.

     Style 13117A falls within textile category designation 638. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of 
Hong Kong are subject to a visa requirement 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 Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter or the control number indicated
above should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.  If you have  any questions regarding
this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.


                              Sincerely,
