RE:  The tariff classification of portable devices for drying and
     removing wrinkles from clothing from Dominican Republic.

Dear Mr. Griffin:

     In your letter dated July 23, 1996, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  

     The sample submitted is made of nylon woven fabric
resembling an infant all in one jumpsuit.  The legs and sleeves
are all sewn close.  There is an opening which has a knitted
cotton fabric cuff for the insertion of a hair dryer.  Attached
to the cuff is a strip similar to the VELCRO brand loop fastener.
Also attached is a 5/8 inch wide fabric with a metal clip.

     Also, submitted is literature on three different styles of
portable dryers.  The dryers are in the shapes of either a shirt,
pair of pants or rectangular shaped to dry miscellaneous articles
such as socks and underwears.  They are all constructed as above.
When the items are attached to a portable hair dryer they are
used for drying and removing wrinkles from any articles of
clothing.

     The applicable subheading for the portable devices for
drying and removing wrinkles from clothing will be 6307.90.9989,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other made up articles...Other.  The duty rate will
be 7 percent ad valorem.

     Articles classifiable under subheading 6307.90.9989, HTS,
which are products of the Dominican Republic are entitled to duty
free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP)
upon compliance with all applicable regulations, if the GSP is
renewed.


     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 Alan
Tytelman at 212-466-5896.



                                        Sincerely,
