RE:  The tariff classification of a man's tracksuit from
Bangladesh

Dear Mr. Wilson:

     In your letter received in this office April 22, 1991, you
requested a classification ruling.  
 
     The samples submitted for style number 13604 consist of a
man's jacket and pair of trousers constructed of a woven 100%
nylon taffeta fabric which you state has a 450mm coating.  The
garments are lined with a 65 percent polyester/ 35 percent cotton
knit fabric.

     The coatings on the jacket and trousers do not change the
surface character of the fabric, therefore HTS 6210 does not
apply. 

     The jacket is composed of contrasting colored fabric inserts
and has a full front opening secured by a heavy-duty zipper
closure.  There are two front slash pockets at the waist.  The
sleeve cuffs and waistband are elasticized.  Sewn onto the left
chest is a textile patch with the trade name "Dunlop".

     The pair of trousers has an elasticized waistband with a
drawstring tightenting.  There are two front slash pockets below
the waist.  Sewn onto the front of the left pocket is a textile
patch with the trade name "Dunlop".  The ankle cuffs are
elasticized.

     The samples are being returned to you as you have requested.



     The applicable subheading for the trousers will be
6211.33.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  other men's garments, of man-made
fibers, track suits, trousers.  The duty rate will be 17 percent
ad valorem.

     The applicable subheading for the jacket will be
6211.33.0035, HTS, which provides for other men's garments of
man-made fibers, track suits, other.  The duty rate will be 17
percent ad valorem.
     
      The trousers fall within textile category designation 647. 
The jacket falls within textile category designation 634.  Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of
Bangladesh are presently 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.  Since
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 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
