RE:  The tariff classification of polyester woven webbing from
     Korea

Dear Ms. Keller:

     In your letter dated July 25, 1996 you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of your client S & S Fastener
Company.  
     
     You have submitted a sample of a yellow piece of polyester
woven webbing that is one inch wide. The webbing will be imported
into the United States on large spools and will be used for
securing freight on to trucks (called tie-downs). The webbing
will be sold by the foot. 

     The applicable subheading for the webbing will be
5806.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for narrow woven fabrics, other than goods
of heading 5807;...Other woven fabrics: Of man-made fibers: Other
(than ribbons).  The duty rate will be 6.8% ad valorem.

     The spools of polyester webbing falls within textile
category designation 229.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements products of Korea are subject to quota 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 Jeff
Konzet at 212-466-5885.



                                        Sincerely,



                                        Roger J. Silvestri
