             RE:  women's blouse and tie

             Dear Ms. Arellanes:

                   Your letter of March 8, addressed to our New York
             office, requesting a tariff classification ruling for a
             women's blouse and tie to be imported from Singapore, has been
             referred to this office for reply.

             FACTS:

                   A sample of Style 1921510 was submitted.  It is of a 100
             percent polyester multicolor print woven fabric and consists
             of two pieces.  The blouse has a round neckline with no
             collar, a full-front opening with five self-fabric-covered
             buttons, a straight, hemmed lower edge, and long hemmed
             sleeves each with a single button at the lower edge.  The tie
             measures approximately four inches wide by fifty-five inches
             long and attaches to the blouse through a thread loop at the
             back of the neckline.  We assume that the blouse and tie are
             imported and sold together as a unit.

             ISSUE:

                   The question raised is whether the blouse and tie are
             classified together or separately.

             LAW AND ANALYSIS:

                   Our analysis of this case is the same as that set out in
             Headquarters Ruling Letter 083319 of April 26, copy enclosed.
















                                           -2-


             HOLDING:

                   The blouse and tie are classified together under
             subheading 6206.40.3030, HTSUSA, textile category 641, a pro-
             vision for women's blouses of man-made fibers.

                   Because of the changeable nature of the statistical
             annotation, i.e., the ninth and tenth digits of the tariff
             number, and the textile restraint categories, you should
             contact your local Customs office before importation of this
             merchandise to determine the current status of any import
             restraints or requirements.


                                        Sincerely,

                                        Commercial Rulings Division
