RE:  The tariff classification of textile headbands, ponytail and
barretts  from China

Dear Ms. Willey:

     In your letter dated August 1, 1991,  you requested a tariff
classification ruling.       
  
     The prospective imports consist of the following three
textile hair ornaments:  

     1.   A plastic headband totally covered by textile material, 

          topped with a plastic mermaid (Style# SKU 45147)

     2.   Two elastic ponytail holders decorated with textile
bow, plastic        mermaid and a trailer of plastic beads and
                    shells (style# SKU 45147).    

     3.   A metal spring clasp with a textile bow decorated with
a small        plastic mermaid (style# SKU 45094).

     The applicable subheading for the textile hair ornaments
will be 9615.19.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the
like: of textile materials. The rate of duty will be 11 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
