RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's pullover from the
Peoples' Republic of China.

Dear Mr. Pollack: 

     In your letter dated July 16, 1991, on behalf of Weavers,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     Style 340 is a woman's pullover constructed from a 100%
cotton, finely knit fabric that measures more than 9 stitches per
2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction.  The garment
features a wide, round neckline; long, hemmed sleeves; and a
hemmed bottom.  Your sample is being returned as requested.      
      
     The applicable subheading for the pullover will be
6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's sweaters, pullovers, knitted:
of cotton: other.  The rate of duty will be 20.7% ad valorem.  
          
     The pullover falls within textile category designation 339. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
the Peoples' Republic of China are subject to visa requirements
and quota restraints.
     
     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
