                 concerning classification of unisex shorts

            Dear Ms. Miller:

                 This is in further response to your letter of
            October 6, 1989, in which you requested a ruling for
            unisex sport shorts.

                 We have had reason to review  Headquarters Ruling
            Letter (HRL) 085897, dated January 30, 1990, and have
            determined that it is in error.  First, the tariff
            subheading referenced at the top of the letter should
            have been 6113.00.0090, not 6104.63.2030.  Second, the
            first sentence under the holding paragraph should have
            read "The shorts at issue are classified under subheading
            6113.00.0090, HTSUSA, with a duty rate of 7.6 percent
            ad valorem, and are subject to textile category 659."

                 Pursuant to section 177.9, Customs Regulations,
            (19 CFR 177.9 (1989)), copy enclosed, the ruling letter
            of January 30, 1989, is modified in conformity with the
            foregoing.

                                        Sincerely,




                                        John Durant, Director
                                        Commercial Rulings Division
