RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's knit garment from
     Hong Kong; replacing NY80007 for Style number DB3341.

Dear Mr. Plenby:
     
     We refer to your letter of May 2, 1996 in which you
requested an amendment to New York District Ruling Letter,
NY80007 issued to you on March 7, 1996.  You indicated in your
letter that the classification and quota category given for style
DB3341 was incorrect.  The fiber content (38% acrylic, 27%
polyester, 5% wool) did not total 100 percent.  No other changes
have been made to this garment.  The correct fiber content is 38%
acrylic, 27% polyester, 35% wool.

     The applicable  subheading for style DB3341 will be
6110.30.1520, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's sweaters, knitted: of man-made
fibers: other: containing 23% or more by weight of wool or fine
animal hair: other.  The duty rate will be 17% ad valorem.    
     
     Style DB3341 falls within textile category designation 446.  
 Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Hong Kong are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of
a visa.
