RE:   The tariff classification of a man's knit garment from the
      People's Republic of China.

Dear Ms. Backes:

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

      Style No. 826000 is a man's one piece step-in garment which
is constructed from 97 percent cotton, 3 percent spandex, finely
knit interlock fabric.  The upper part of the garment scoops to the
waist in the front and has shoulder straps which measure two
inches wide at the shoulder seam.  The garment also has a four
and one-half inch wide T-strap back with a rear neckline which
extends below the nape of the neck; oversized armholes; an eight
inch long zippered fly; a sewn, woven fabric label on the back; and
short, hemmed pant legs.  Four inch wide, contrast color, knit
fabric inserts extend from the base of each armhole to the bottom
of each pant leg.

      As requested, your sample will be returned.

      The applicable subheading for Style No. 826000 will be
6114.20.0055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: other garments, knitted or crocheted: of
cotton: other: men's or boys'.  The duty rate will be 11.5 percent
ad valorem.

      Style No. 826000 falls within textile category designation 359.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China are subject to visa requirements and
quota restraints.

      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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,



                                                 Jean F. Maguire
