 RE:                          The tariff classification of a men's knit garment from the
                               Philippines.
 
 Dear Mr. Kenger:
 
     In your letter dated July 22, 1996, you requested a tariff
 classification ruling on behalf of Dollar General Corporation.
  
     Style 97001A is a man's sleeveless garment which is
 constructed from 60 percent cotton, 40 percent polyester, finely
 knit jersey fabric.  The garment is loose fitting and features two
 and one half inch wide shoulder straps; oversized armholes; a low,
 rounded front neckline; a rear neckline which reaches below the
 nape of the neck; and a hemmed bottom.
 
     The applicable subheading for Style 97001A will be
 6109.10.0027, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
 (HTS), which provides for: T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and simi-
 lar garments, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: men's or boys': 
 other: other: other.  The duty rate will be 20.1 percent ad 
 valorem.
  
 
 
    Style 97001A falls within textile category designation 338. 
 Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
 Philippines are subject to a visa requirement 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 Part 177
 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
 
    A copy of this 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 this
 ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.
 
 
 
                             Sincerely,
