RE:	The tariff classification of latex gloves from China



Dear Mr. Lichstein:



	In your letter dated August 1, 1996 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.



	You have submitted a sample of a blue colored seamless latex glove, style
RW682-X, which you indicated will be used in poultry processing and meat packing
plants.  Additionally, you have advised that the gloves are to be packaged in
bags of 12 pairs and labeled to show compliance with USDA regulations.  The
submitted sample was an extra large size.  The glove will also be imported in
sizes Large (style RW682-L), Medium (style RW682-M), and Small (style RW682-S).
  



	The applicable subheading for the gloves will be 4015.19.1050, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Articles of
apparel and clothing accessories (including gloves), for all purposes, of
vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: gloves: other: seamless . . . other.
The rate of duty will be 3.4 percent ad valorem.   



	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 Brian Burtnik at 212-466-5880.
