RE:  The tariff classification of two textile hair ornaments-
style     #'s TW & HW from Hong Kong or China.

Dear Ms. Roark:

     In your letter dated May 16, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     The prospective imports, style numbers TW and HW, consist of
a textile stretch headband and a textile covered elastic ponytail
holder.

     The applicable subheading for the textile hair ornaments
will be 9615.19.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other combs, hair-slides and the
like: of textile materials.  The rate of duty will be 11 percent
ad valorem.   

     Each item should be marked as clearly, legibly and indelibly
as possible with the proper country of origin.

     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
