RE:  The tariff classification of Two Hair Adornment Articles
(Textile  Headbands) from Colombia

Dear Ms. Tello:

     In your letter dated April 17, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     The prospective imports consist of two textile headbands
with wire inserts.  They are meant to be worn around the head. 
One is of a knitted fabric while the other is of a woven fabric.

     No quotas or visas are applicable for either item.

     The applicable subheading for the textile headbands will be
9615.19.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the like: 
of textile materials.  The duty rate will be 11 percent ad
valorem.

     Each item should be marked as clearly, legibly, and
indelibly as possible with the proper country of origin.       

     Articles classifiable under subheading 9615.19.6010, HTS,
which are products of Colombia are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.

     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
