RE: Modification of New York Ruling Letter (NYRL) 840904, dated  
    May 16, 1989; Girls' Apparel

Dear Ms. Dugan:

     In NYRL 840904, dated May 16, 1989, our New York office
advised you of the tariff classification and rate of duty
applicable to certain girls' apparel imported from Singapore.  
We have determined that ruling to be in error.

     Contrary to NYRL 840904, the subject merchandise is properly
classified under subheading 6204.52.2080, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides
for women's or girls' suits...skirts and divided skirts, of
cotton, other, other, girls'.  Articles classified under
subheading 6204.52.2080 carry the textile category 342 and are
dutiable at 8.7 percent ad valorem.

     In accordance with the above determination, NYRL 840904 is
hereby modified pursuant to 19 CFR 177.9(d).


                                Sincerely,


                                John Durant, Director
