RE:  The tariff classification of woven fabric ribbon from
     Czechoslovakia.

Dear Ms. Barker:

       In your letter dated June 24, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.         

       You have submitted a sample of a woven fabric ribbon
measuring approximately 24 millimeters in width.  The material
has woven selvages on both edges, and you indicate in your letter
that the material is composed of polyester and metal fibers, with
polyester as the chief weight fiber.  The Customs New York
Laboratory has analyzed the sample you submitted, amd determined
that it contains 30.3% metallic yarns, 69.3% rayon and 0.4%
nylon by weight.  Your letter states that this ribbon will be
used for wrapping gifts.

       The applicable subheading for the woven fabric ribbon will
be 5806.32.1090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for narrow woven fabrics; other woven
fabrics; of man-made fibers; ribbons; other.  The rate of duty
will be 9% ad valorem.   

       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
