RE:   The tariff classification of a boy's woven overall from
      Taiwan and Korea.

Dear Sir:

      In your undated response to our checklist requesting
additional information, which was received in this office on July 18,
1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Jackie
Vital.

      The submitted sample, which you request us to identify as
"Bad Boyz",  is a boy's overall constructed from 100 percent denim
cotton, woven fabric.  The sample extends from the ankles to
approximately ten inches above the waist both in the front and the
back.  It has two side openings which reach from the top of the
oversized armholes to about five inches below the waistline.  These
openings are each secured by three metal buttons.  The bib
portions in the front and the back have curved sides and taper to
straight tops.  There are shoulder straps which form a "V" in back
and are stitched to the back bib.  In the front, the straps are
attached to the bib with metal buckles which are secured to metal
buttons at the corners of the bib.  The buckles allow for
adjustment of the length of the straps.  The garment also features
a patch pocket in the center of the front bib; two patch pockets in
the back; two inset side pockets below the waist, with slanted
openings; two belt loops in the front and three in the back; a
zippered fly; knee patches; and a rectangular label with the
"SLICK" logo stitched to the center of the back bib, near the top. 
The sample is quilted over the entire front, except for the two
inch high waistband.  In the back, only the bib and the patch
pockets are quilted.

      The applicable subheading for the sample will be 6203.42.2090,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for: men's or boy's suits, ensembles ... trousers, bib and
brace overalls ... : trousers, bib and brace overalls ... : of cotton:
other: bib and brace overalls: other: other.  The duty rate will be
11 percent ad valorem.


      The garment falls within textile category designation 359. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Taiwan and Korea 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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,




                                                 Jean F. Maguire
