RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's jumper from India. 

Dear Mr. Pirkash:

     In your letter dated April 22, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number A472, is a woman's
jumper, manufactured from 100% cotton, woven fabric. The garment
does not provide the requisite coverage for wear without another
outer garment, such as a blouse or shirt. The jumper is
accompanied by a self-fabric belt with a plastic buckle, and also
features deep armholes, a U-shaped neckline, a partial frontal
opening secured by three buttons, four belt loops around the
waist, and a pleated bottom ("skirt") part. 

     The applicable subheading for the jumper will be
6211.42.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  other garments, women's or girls': of
cotton: jumpers.  The rate of duty will be 8.6 percent ad
valorem.
     
     The jumper, with its accompanying belt, falls within textile
category designation 359.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of India 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 Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.


                                   Sincerely,
