RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's poly/rayon woven
blouse from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

     In your letter dated July 29,1996, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Newport News, Inc., 711 Third
Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. 

     The submitted sample, style 70749, is a woman's 65%
polyester/35% rayon woven blouse that features a buttoned back
opening and is sleeveless. The sample is being returned to you. 
  
     The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6206.40.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
Annotated, which provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts
and shirt-blouses: of man-made fibers: other: other: women's. The
duty rate will be 28.3% ad valorem.

     The garment falls within textile category designation 641. 
As a product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is subject to a visa
requirement and quota restraints based upon international textile
trade agreements.

     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.

     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,



                                   Thomas Mattina
