RE:  The tariff classification of a men's knit jacket from Hong
     Kong.

Dear Mr. Evan:

     In your letter dated May 16, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Tommy Hilfiger U.S.A., Inc.
 
     Style 880500281 is a man's jacket constructed from 100
percent polyester finely knit fabric which is napped on both the
inside and outside surfaces.  The garment features a full front
opening with a zipper closure; an inside storm flap; a convertible 
collar which zips to form a storm collar; long sleeves; one
vertical pocket at the left chest with a zipper closure; two slash
pockets below the waist with zipper closures; a hanger loop at the
rear neckline; and zippered openings along the underside of the
sleeves for ventilation.  The sleeves, the placket, the collar and
the bottom are finished with nylon fabric trim.  There is a woven
label sewn to the chest pocket and a plastic logo sewn to the lower
right front panel.

      As requested, the sample will be returned.     


     The applicable subheading for Style 880500281 will be
6101.30.2010 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats,
capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and
similar articles  knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading
6103: of man-made fibers: other: other: men's.  The duty rate will
be 29.6 percent ad valorem.

     Style 880500281 falls within textile category designation
634.   Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Hong Kong are subject to a visa requirement 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 Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter or the control number indicated
above should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.  If you have  any questions regarding
this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.


                                  Sincerely,
