RE:  The tariff classification of men's knit garments from
     Indonesia.

Dear Ms. Covey:

     In your letter dated July 25, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  Your samples are being returned.

     Style 115264 is a pair of men's shorts which are constructed
from 100 percent cotton, waffle knit fabric.   The shorts feature
a tunnel elastic waistband with a woven fabric cover; a braided
outside drawstring; a one button fly front opening; two side seam
pockets; and hemmed leg openings.   

     Style 115265 is a pair of men's pants which are constructed
from 100 percent cotton, waffle knit fabric.  The pants feature a 
tunnel elastic waistband with a woven fabric cover; a braided
outside drawstring; a one button fly front opening; two side seam
pockets; and rib knit cuffs at the ankles.   

     The applicable subheading for Style 115265 will be
6103.42.1020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' ... trousers,... knitted
or crocheted: of cotton: trousers and breeches: men's: other.  The
duty rate will be 16.9 percent ad valorem.   
     



     The applicable subheading for Style 115264 will be
6103.42.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' ... shorts (other than
swimwear),... knitted or crocheted: of cotton: shorts: men's:
other.  The duty rate will be 16.9 percent ad valorem.
   
     Styles 115264 and 115265 fall within textile category
designation 347.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Indonesia  are subject to visa requirements
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 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,
