RE:  The tariff classification of a lady's knitted cotton
nightgown,     style SP90, from Korea.

Dear Ms. Dugan:

     In your letter dated May 20, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     The submitted long-sleeved pullover garment is forty-two
inches long.  There is a boat-neck on this loose-fitting garment,
which you state will be sold as sleepwear under the "Honors
Intimate" label.

     The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knitted nightdresses...of
cotton.  The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad valorem.  
          
     The nightgown falls within textile category designation 351. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Korea 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
