RE:	The tariff classification of women's sleepwear from India



Dear Ms. Kearney-Duffy:



	In your letter dated April 8, 1996, you requested a classification ruling.
The sample submitted with your request will be returned to you under separate
cover.

	

	Style 1-WPLD (missy) is a sleepshirt constructed from 100 percent cotton
woven fabric.  The sleepshirt features a collar, long sleeves, a full front
opening secured by six buttons, one chest pocket and a rounded, shirt tail
bottom.  The garment is oversized and extends to slightly above the knee.  The
sleepshirt will also be imported under style 1-WPLDX (Mama).



	The applicable subheading for the sleepshirt will be 6208.21.0010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
women's or girls' singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs,
panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles: nightdresses and pajamas: of cotton: with two or more colors in the
warp and/or the filling.  The duty rate will be 9.4 percent ad valorem.



	The sleepshirt falls within textile category designation 351.  Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of India are subject to quota
restraints and a visa requirement.



	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.  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 Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).



	A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Patricia Schiazzano at (212) 466 - 5866.
