RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's jacket from
     Bangladesh.

Dear Ms. Everill:

     In your letter dated January 2, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification  ruling.  Your sample is being returned as
requested.  
     
     Style number 260-0219 is a woman's hooded jacket constructed
from 100% polyester, polar fleece, knit fabric with 100% nylon
woven overlays sewn on the hood, the upper part of the front and
back of the jacket, and the upper sleeves.  The jacket features a
drawstring hood; long sleeves with two button adjustable cuffs; a
full front opening with a zipper closure and 5 snap closures on
the placket; and a drawstring bottom. There are also two patch
pockets which have buttoned flaps at the front below the waist,
and one zippered pocket at the left chest. 

     Since the woven fabric sections on the upper parts of the
jacket are overlaid onto the basic knit garment, they are
disregarded when determining the classification of this style. 
We note the Explanatory Notes to Chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS).

     The applicable subheading for the jacket will be
6102.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's overcoats...windbreakers, and
similar articles, knitted, other than those of heading 6104: of
man-made fibers: other.  The duty rate will be 29.6% a valorem.

     The jacket falls within textile category designation 635. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Bangladesh are subject to quota restraints 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 Section
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 Mike
Crowley at 212-466-5852.



                                        Sincerely,
