RE:  The tariff classification of a plastic eye patch from Hong
Kong.

Dear Mr. Hart:

     In your letter dated April 9, 1991, on behalf of AL-SITE
Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.        
      
     The inside edges of the plastic eye patch are lined with a
foam plastic cushion for comfort.  The eye patch is held in place
with an elastic band. 

     The applicable subheading for the eye patch will be
3926.90.9050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics, other.  The
rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.   

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     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,



                                             Jean F. Maguire
