RE:  The tariff classification of a boy's swimwear coverup from Malaysia.

Dear Ms. Cheung:

     In your letter dated June 4, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, Style #775-2, is a boy's 80% cotton , 20% polyester terry
swimwear coverup.  The garment is knit and features a self fabric hood, long sleeves with
elasticized bottoms, and a full front opening with zipper closure.  The coverup also has two
front slash pockets above the waist and a hemmed bottom with side slits.

     You state that the coverup will be imported in toddler boys' sizes 2-4T.       
               
     We are returning your sample as you requested.    
     
     The applicable subheading for the coverup, Style #775-2, will be 6107.91.10090,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for men's or boys'
underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles, knitted
or crocheted, other, of cotton, other, boy's.  The rate of duty will be 9.2% ad valorem.

     The coverup falls within textile category designation 350.  Based upon textile trade
agreements, products of Malaysia are presently subject to quota restraints and 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 Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with
the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Bruce Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
     
                                        Sincerely,
