RE:  The tariff classification of a pair of ladies' pajamas,
     style 4500, from Bangladesh.

Dear Mr. Maher:

     In your letter dated April 29, 1991, on behalf of Franshaw
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  

     The submitted style is manufactured from jersey fabric of
60% cotton/40% polyester.

     The loose-fitting bottom portion is short-legged with an
elasticized waistband.  A lace overlay trims each leg edge.

     The loose-fitting top portion is a short-sleeved pullover
with a round neckline.  A lace edging trims the lower edge of the
pullover.

     As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned. 


     The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's...pajamas of cotton, knitted. 
The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad valorem.

     The pajamas fall within textile category designation 351. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Bangladesh are subject to quota restraints and a visa
requirement.
     The designated textile and apparel category 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
