RE:   The tariff classification of a man's knit garment from the
      Dominican Republic.

Dear Mr. Powell:

      In your letter dated August 21, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of New-Cari., Inc.

      Style No. 18/70/W is a man's short sleeved pullover garment
which is constructed from 100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey
fabric.  The garment features a rib knit mock turtle neckline;
short, hemmed sleeves; and a hemmed bottom.  You have stated in
your letter that this garment will be imported in sizes S through
XXL.

      As requested, your samples will be returned.

      The applicable subheading for Style No. 18/70/W 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
Dominican Republic 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
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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.



                                                 Sincerely,



                                                 Jean F. Maguire
                                                 Area Director
