RE:  The tariff classification of two open-work raschel knit lace
     fabrics from Turkey.

Dear Ms. Clare:

     In your letter dated August 6, 1996, on behalf of
Stylemaster Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     You have submitted a sample of 15 inch wide raschel lace
with a scalloped edge on the bottom, style name "Georgetown." 
Stylemaster also plans to import the fabric in 5 inch widths;
however, no sample has been submitted or style name indicated for
this narrow fabric.  We assume that the narrow lace will also be
identical to the "Georgetown" fabric in open-work warp knit (not
real "lace") construction, very similar in pattern and knitted
from textured 100% polyester yarns.  Both fabrics will be
imported in continuous length rolls.

     The applicable subheading for the 15 inch wide knitted lace
will be 6002.43.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other knitted or crocheted
fabrics; other fabrics, warp knit (including those made on
galloon knitting machines); of man-made fibers; open-work
fabrics.  The rate of duty will be 13.2 percent ad valorem.   

     The 5 inch wide knitted lace will be classifiable under the
provision for other knitted or crocheted fabrics; other, of a
width not exceeding 30 centimeters; open-work fabrics, warp knit,
in subheading 6002.20.1000, HTS.  The rate of duty will be 15.6
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 Jeff
Konzet at 212-466-5885.



                                        Sincerely,
