RE:  The tariff classification of woven polypropylene webbing
     from Taiwan and Korea

Dear Mr. Kaczmarek:

     In your letter dated July 5, 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.  
 
     You submitted a sample of woven polypropylene webbing
approximately 38 millimeters in width, with a woven selvage along
each edge.  You indicated in your letter that the webbing will be
sold by the roll to various manufacturers to use as straps and
handles in the manufacturing of bags.

     The applicable subheading for the woven polypropylene
webbing will be 5806.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for narrow woven fabrics...;
other woven fabrics; of man-made fibers; other.  The duty rate
will be 7% ad valorem.

     The webbing falls within textile category designation 229. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of   
Taiwan and Korea are subject to quota and the requirement of a
visa.

     The designated textile and apparel categories 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
