RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's knit shorts from
China.
      
Dear Mr. O'Neill:

     In your letter dated June 27, 1991, on behalf of High Horse
Sportswear,  you requested a classification ruling.

     The submitted sample, style number W3002, is a woman's knit
shirt.  The garment is manufactured from 100% cotton fabric.  The
fabric is constructed with more than 10 stitches per centimeter
in the horizontal and vertical directions.  The shirt features a
full front opening with eight button closures, long sleeves,
shoulder pads, a drawstring waist and side vents.
 
     The applicable subheading for style W3002 will be
6106.10.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit shirts of cotton.  The
rate of duty will be 21 percent ad valorem.

     Style W3002 falls within textile category designation 339. 
Based upon  international textile trade agreements, products of
China, are subject quota restraints  and 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
                                             Area Director
