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

Dear Mr. Johnson:

      In your letter, which was received on July 23, 1991, you re-
quested a tariff classification ruling.

      Style No. 66808-80 is a man's long sleeved jacket which is
constructed from 100 percent cotton, finely knit looped fabric.  The
garment features a full front opening with a metal zipper closure; a
rib knit baseball collar; front pouch pockets; brass underarm
grommets with screen coverings; an embroidered logo on the left
chest; rib knit cuffs; and a rib knit waistband.

      The applicable HTS subheading for Style No. 66808-80 will be
6101.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats,
capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and
similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading
6103: of cotton: men's.  The duty rate will be 16.9 percent ad
valorem.

      This garment falls within textile category designation 334. 
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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,



                                                 Jean F. Maguire
