RE:   The tariff classification of a knit garment from the People's
      Republic of China.

Dear Mr. Pollack:

      In your letter dated July 16, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Weavers, Inc.

      Style No. 2100 is a pullover garment which is constructed
from a 100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric.  The garment
features a ribbed knit V-neck; oversized armholes which are
finished with ribbed knit edging; and a hemmed bottom.  In your
letter, you have stated that this garment is for men's wear and will
be imported in sizes small through extra large.

      As requested, your sample will be returned.

      The applicable subheading for this garment will be
6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts,
waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of
cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys'.  The duty rate will be
20.7 percent ad valorem.

        This garment falls within textile category designation 338. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China 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
                                                 Area Director
