RE:  The tariff classification of two women's sleepshirts and
          one pair of women's pajamas from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Cheung:

     In your letter dated May 13, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.

     The submitted sample, style number 759 and 760, are women's
sleepshirts manufactured from a 65% rayon/35% polyester knit
fabric.  Style 759 features a wide crew neck, long hemmed sleeves
and straight hemmed bottom extending to mid thigh.  Style 760 is
similarly styled except it has a deep V neck.  

     Style number 761 is a pair of women's pajamas manufactured
from 65% rayon/35% polyester rib knit fabric.  The top component
is sleeveless and features a U neckline and a round hemmed
bottom.  The bottom component is a pair of long trousers with one
inch elasticized waistband covered with the fabric of the
garment.  

     As you have requested, the sample garments are being
returned.

     The applicable subheading for styles 759, 760 and 761 will
be 6108.32.0010 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit nightdresses and pajamas
of man made fibers.  The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad
valorem.

     Styles 759, 760 and 761 fall within textile category
designation 651. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of the Taiwan are subject to visa
requirements and quota restraints.
     
     The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into  parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected.  Since
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 Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.

                                             Sincerely,



                                             Jean F. Maguire
