RE:  The tariff classification of latex gloves from Malaysia.

Dear Ms. O'Boyle:

     In your letter dated July 16, 1991, on behalf of American
Health Products, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
       
     The submitted sample is a box of 50 ambidextrous disposable
latex rubber gloves.  The box is marked "medium (7-8)". The
gloves are seamless, non-sterile and have a rolled cuff. 

     The applicable subheading for the latex gloves will be
4015.11.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  articles of apparel and clothing
accessories (including gloves), for all purposes, of vulcanized
rubber other than hard rubber: gloves: surgical and medical. The
rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.   

     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
