RE:  The tariff classification of a "Dust Mask" from China.

Dear Ms. O'Boyle:

     In your letter dated August 13, 1991, on behalf of Builders
Square Inc., San Antonio, Texas, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

      The sample submitted is a "Dust Mask".  You stated that the
"Dust Mask" is made out of heavy paper.  An analysis by our
laboratory indicated that the "Dust Mask" consists of multi
layers of a nonwoven synthetic textile polyester type fiber.

     The applicable subheading for the "Dust Mask" will be
6307.90.9490, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other, other,
other.  The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.

     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
