 RE:                          The tariff classification of a man's knit garment from Costa 
      Rica and Honduras.
 
Dear Mr. Schiller:

     In your letter dated May 13, 1996, and in your subsequent
submission received on June 25, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Delta Apparel.
 
     Style 41097 is a man's garment constructed from 100 percent
cotton, finely knit jersey fabric.  The garment has a wide, loose
fitting body and features a rib knit crew neckline; short, hemmed
sleeves; and a hemmed bottom.  You have indicated that Style
41097 will be imported in sizes M, L, and XL.

     As requested, your sample will be returned.

     The applicable subheading for Style 41097 will be
6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States,(HTS), which provides for: Sweaters, pullovers,
sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or
crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys'.  The
duty rate will be 19.9 percent ad valorem.

     Style 41097 falls within textile category designation 338. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Costa Rica and Honduras are not presently subject to visa re-
quirements or 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 in-
spection 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 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 this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary
Ryan at 212-466-5877.



                                  Sincerely,
