RE:  The tariff classification of nylon gloves from China, Taiwan
     or Jakarta.

Dear Ms. Stehl:

     In your letter dated August 6, 1996 you requested a
classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, style MZ1, is a lined nylon gauntlet
glove with a inner waterproof lining and a plastic coated knit
polyester fabric palm extending to the fingertips and across the
thumb.  You have indicated that the plastic coating accounts for
90 percent of the weight of the palm, and the knit polyester
fabric accounts for the remaining 10 percent.  The glove also
features a partially elasticized wrist, a hook and loop tab
closure at the front of the wrist, fourchettes, and internal foam
padding over the knuckles.  Your letter states the sample is a
multiuse sports gloves, however, we do not believe the glove
shows design specifications which would indicate use in sports. 
The essential character of the glove is imparted by the coated
palm fabric.
        
     The applicable subheading for style MZ1 will be
6116.10.9500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or
rubber: other: with fourchettes: other.  The duty rate will be
12.6% 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
