RE:   The tariff classification of a men's knit sweater from
      Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Dairo:

 In your letter dated July 30, 1996, you requested a tariff clas-
sification ruling.  Your sample will be returned. 

 Style 5S826 is a men's sweater constructed from 100 percent

 The applicable subheading for Style 5S826 will be 6110.20.2010,

other: sweaters: men's.  The duty rate will be 19.9 percent ad
valorem
 
 Style 5S826 falls  within textile category designation 345. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Taiwan are subject to a visa requirement 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 Part 177 of
the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should or the control number listed
above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time

this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.
