RE:  Modification of DD 849267; classification of women's
     knit garments

Dear Ms. Donahue-Beecken:

     This is in response to your letter of April 5, 1990,
requesting modification of DD 849267.  You state that samples
were submitted with your request, although they are missing and
were not available for examination in preparing this letter.

     In DD 849267, dated February 23, 1990, we stated that two
women's garments were composed of 50 percent cotton and 50
percent polyester knit fabric and classified the garments
accordingly.  In your letter of April 5, 1990 you maintain that
the subject garments are made of 50 percent wool and 50 percent
rayon, which you had indicated in your original ruling request.

     Therefore DD 849267 is in error.  With a fiber content of 50
percent wool and 50 percent rayon, the subject garments are
classified under subheading 6110.30.1560, HTSUSA, which provides
for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and
similar articles, knitted or crocheted, of man-made fibers,
other, containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine
animal hair, other, women's or girls'.  The rate of duty is 17
percent ad valorem, and the textile category is 438.

     Due to the changeable nature of the statistical annotation
(the ninth and tenth digits of the classification) and the
restraint (quota/visa) categories applicable to textile
merchandise, you should contact your local Customs office prior
to importation of this merchandise to determine the current
status of any import restraints or requirements.

     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.

     Pursuant to Section 177.9 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR
177.9), DD 849267, dated February 23, 1990, is modified
accordingly.


                              Sincerely,




                              John Durant, Director
                              Commercial Rulings Division
