RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's jumpsuit from Hong
Kong. 

Dear Ms. Okaya:

     In your letter dated May 3, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number VS592, is a woman's
sleeveless, shin-length jumpsuit, manufactured from 100% cotton,
printed, woven fabric. Although you describe the garment as a
"one-piece Pajama", we do not believe the garment is ordinarily
worn for sleeping. 

     The garment provides the requisite coverage for wear without
another outer garment. It has a horizontal seam extending
completely around the waist, which divides the upper part from
the lower part; a partial frontal opening extending below the
waist, which is secured by eight buttons; a scoop neckline; two
patch pockets, each with a tie closure at the top of the pocket,
on the lower front; and cuffed leg openings. The sample is being
returned under separate cover. 

     The applicable subheading for the jumpsuit will be
6211.42.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or girls': of
cotton: coveralls, jumpsuits and similar apparel.  The rate of
duty will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.
     
     The jumpsuit falls within textile category designation 359. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to visa requirements.  
     
     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,

                                   
  

                                   Jean F. Maguire
