RE:	The tariff classification of a bartender's glove from Indonesia



Dear Mr. Kalinger:



	In your letter dated March 26, 1996, on behalf of CMM LLC Corporation, you
requested a classification ruling.  



	The sample you have submitted, style 001P, is a half-

fingered left hand glove with fourchettes.  The entire palm side and a portion
of the back is made of polyester knit fabric.  The remainder of the back side is
spandex knit fabric.  The glove features a textile backed vinyl overlay on the
palm and a hook and loop fabric tab wrist closure.  Additionally, the item has
two small rectangular pockets, one on the palm side to insert a metal bottle
opener and one on the back of the hand to hold a cigarette lighter.  The glove
is intended to be worn by bartenders.  The essential charater of this glove is
imparted by the polyester knit palm fabric.  

	

	The applicable subheading for the glove will be 6116.93.9400, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens
and mitts, knitted or crocheted: other: of synthetic fibers: . . . with
fourchettes.  The duty rate will be 19.6 percent ad valorem.



	The glove falls within textile category designation 631.  Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Indonesia are subject visa
requirements.



	The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.
 If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be
affected.  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 Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).



	A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Brian Burtnik at 212-466-5880.
