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

Dear Mr. Lawson:

     In your letter dated April 30, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number S/7062F, is a woman's
jacket, manufactured from 100% polyester, woven fabric. The
garment extends several inches below the hips, and features long
sleeves with elasticized cuffs; a full frontal opening secured by
six, thread-reinforced buttons; two front pockets below the
waist; and an elasticized waistband. The garment also has a
round, collarless neckline and shoulder pads. The sample is being
returned under separate cover.  

     The applicable subheading for the jacket will be
6202.93.5010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles of man-made fibers.  The rate of duty will be
29.5 percent ad valorem.
     
     The jacket falls within textile category designation 635. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to visa requirements.  
     
     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
