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

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

     In your letter dated July 5, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Ellen Tracy, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number 501, is a woman's coat
dress, manufactured from 100% wool, woven fabric. The dress is
double-breasted, and its bottom edge falls approximately two
inches above the knees. It features long sleeves without cuffs; a
full frontal opening secured by four buttons, one of which is
concealed; a partial lining; a notched collar; lapels; two front
pockets below the waist; and shoulder pads. The sample is being
returned under separate cover.  

     The applicable subheading for the dress will be
6204.41.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's wool dresses.  The rate of duty
will be 17 percent ad valorem.
     
     The dress falls within textile category designation 436. 
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
