RE: The tariff classification of a woman's shirt from Pakistan

Dear Mrs. Patel:

     In your letter dated September 5, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  The sample will be returned as requested.

         The garment, style 4978/2492, is a woman's oversized shirt
of 100% cotton woven fabric.  The garment features short cuffed
sleeves, a left breast monogrammed pocket, shirt-tail hem and a
right side-seamed pocket below the waist.  The garment is almost
knee length and one size fits all.

         The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6211.42.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or girls', of
cotton, blouses, shirts... and similar upper body garments,
excluded from heading 6206.  The duty rate will be 8.6%.

         This garment falls within textile category designation 341. 
As a product of Pakistan this merchandise is subject to quota I
restraints and visa restrictions based upon international textile
trade agreements.

         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,



                                  Dennis H. Murphy
                                  District Director,
                                  Norfolk, Va.
