RE:  The tariff classification of women's woven sleepshirts from
India. 

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

     In your letter dated July 31, 1991, on behalf of your
client, Frederick Worldwide Company, Division of Frederick
Atkins, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.  

     The submitted samples, style numbers F1048 and F1052, are
women's sleepshirts. Each is constructed from 100% cotton, yarn-
dyed, woven fabric; style F1048 is also overprinted with a floral
design. Both garments are loosefitting and have shirttail bottoms
which come to rest approximately four inches above the knees.
Style F1048 has short sleeves with turned-up cuffs; a pointed
collar without a collarband; small lapels; a full frontal
opening secured by seven buttons; a left breast pocket; a
shoulder yoke; and a back pleat. Style F1052 has long sleeves
with cuffs; a pointed collar without a collarband; small lapels;
a full frontal opening secured by six buttons; a left breast
pocket; a shoulder yoke; and a back pleat. The samples are being
returned under separate cover. 

     The applicable subheading for both sleepshirts  will be
6208.21.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  women's nightdresses and pajamas of
cotton, with two or more colors in the warp and/or the filling. 
The rate of duty will be 9.5 percent ad valorem.
     
     Both sleepshirts fall within textile category designation
351.  Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of India 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 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,
