RE:  The tariff classification of polyester/acetate woven fabric
from Korea.

Dear Mr. Klestadt: 

     In your letter dated July 29, 1991, on behalf of your client
Lucky Goldstar Int'l. (America), Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     You have submitted a sample of woven fabric, identified as
style #MC 411643, and designated as moss crepe.  This fabric is
composed of 52.2% filament polyester and 47.8% filament acetate. 
It contains 55 single yarns per centimeter in the warp and 24
single yarns per centimeter in the filling.
The fabric is constructed using 75 denier yarns in both the warp
and filling.  This merchandise is plain woven and has been dyed a
single uniform color.  The product weighs 169 g/m2 and will be
imported in 113 centimeter widths.

     The applicable subheading for the moss crepe woven fabric
will be 5407.72.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of synthetic
filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of
heading 5404, other woven fabrics containing 85 percent or more
by weight of synthetic filaments, dyed, weighing not more than
170 g/m2, other.  The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.
                                                                 
     The woven fabric falls within textile category designation
620.  Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Korea are subject to visa requirements and quota restrictions. 
 

     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,
