RE:  The tariff classification of a woman's dress from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

     In your letter dated July 5, 1991, on behalf of your client,
Ellen Tracy, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.  

     The submitted sample, style number 651, is a woman's double-
breasted coat dress. The dress, which extends to the knees, is
manufactured from 100% wool, woven fabric. It features long
sleeves without cuffs; a full frontal opening secured by four
buttons, one of which is concealed; a full lining; a notched
collar; lapels; two side seam pockets below the waist; and
shoulder pads. The dress also features a fitted waist with no
horizontal seam; and two pleats, on the back, which extend
downward from slightly below the waist to the bottom edge. The
sample is being returned under separate cover.   

     The applicable subheading for the dress will be
6204.41.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's wool dresses.  The rate of duty
will be 17 percent ad valorem.
     
     The dress falls within textile category designation 436. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to visa requirements.  
     
     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
