RE:  The tariff classification of girls' garments from Sri Lanka


Dear Ms. Zink:

     In your letter dated December 13, 1996 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.

     The submitted samples, style 74192428 and style 74092812,
are a girl's jumper and a girl's divided skirt made of 100
percent lightweight woven corduroy material.  Style 74192428, the 
jumper, has a sleeveless A-line body, oversize armholes, a scoop
neck, a partial front opening with a metal zipper closure and a
hemmed bottom. Style 74192428 will be imported in girls' sizes 4
to 6X.

     Style 74092812, the divided skirt, features a shorts body,
partially  elasticized waist, short hemmed legs, and a hemmed
overskirt that buttons at the left side and obscures the leg
separation when viewed from the front. Style 74092812 will be
imported in girls' sizes 4 to 6X.

     The applicable subheading for the jumper, style 74192428,
will be 6211.42.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or
girls', of cotton, jumpers. The duty rate will be 8.4 percent ad
valorem.

     The applicable subheading for the divided skirt will be
6204.52.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' skirts and divided
skirts; of cotton: other, corduroy, girls'. The duty rate will be 
8.6 percent ad valorem.

     As requested, your sample will be returned.

     The jumper falls within textile category designation 359. 
The divided skirt falls within textile category designation 342.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Sri Lanka are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

     The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected.  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.



                                        Sincerely,



                                        John J. Deegan
