RE:  The tariff classification of a breather bag from Malaysia.

Dear Ms. Luib:

     In your letter dated April 30, 1991, on behalf of Baxter
Healthcare Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  

     The breather bag is composed of natural rubber.  It is used
in an anesthesia machine, inflating during use.

     The applicable subheading for the breather bag will be
4016.95.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of vulcanized rubber
other than hard rubber, other inflatable articles.  The rate of
duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem

     Articles classifiable under subheading 4016.95.0000, HTS,
which are products of Malaysia, are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.

     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,



                                             Jean F. Maguire
