RE:  The tariff classification of 100% polyethylene woven fabric 
     from Korea.

Dear Mr. Trucillo:

     In your letter dated May 14, 1996, on behalf of your client
L.D.F. Industries, you requested a classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample is a plain woven fabric composed of
100% polyethylene.  It is manufactured from textile strips that
measure approximately 3 millimeters in width.  This fabric
contains approximately 12 strips per inch in the warp and 8
strips per inch in the filling.   Weighing approximately 92 g/m2,
this product will be imported 91.5 centimeter widths 

     The applicable subheading for the plain woven fabric will be
5407.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of synthetic filament
yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from the materials of
heading 5404, woven fabric obtained from strip or the like.  The
duty rate will be 13.6 percent ad valorem.

     This woven fabric falls within textile category designation
620.  Based upon international textile trade agreements products
of Korea are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

     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 Alan
Tytelman at 212-466-5896.



                                        Sincerely,



                                        Roger J. Silvestri
