RE:  The tariff classification of rosettes, frog closures and
     sequined motifs from Hong Kong and China.

Dear Mr. Fang:

     In your letter dated July 30, 1996 you requested a
classification ruling.

     You have submitted five samples, which we are returning as
you requested.  For one of them, a small bow made of an
unidentified type of white cord, we are unable to issue a ruling
unless you submit three (3) samples which we can keep for
laboratory analysis.  The other four samples are as follows:

     A 100% nylon sequined flower motif measuring approximately
     70 mm in diameter, which is made by sewing sequins onto a
     woven nylon base fabric.

     A frog-type closure for apparel.  This closure is made from
     100% nylon yarns.

     A frog-type closure for apparel.  This closure is made from
     100% nylon yarns with a braided outer shell of metallized
     strip.

     A 100% nylon rosette, which measures approximately 25 mm
     long, 10 mm wide and 5 mm high, is a simulated flower and
     leaf made from two pieces of woven fabric.

     The applicable subheading for the sequined flower motif will
be 5810.92.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for embroidery in the piece, in strips or
in motifs; of man-made fibers; badges, emblems and motifs.  The
duty rate will be 7.6 percent ad valorem.

other; other; other.  The duty rate will be 7 percent ad valorem.

     The man-made fiber frog closure falls within textile
category designation 659.  The metalized frog closure falls
within textile category designation 859.  Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong and
China 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 Jeff
