Dear Ms. Cheung:
In your letter dated July 31, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted samples, style numbers 56-4104, 56-4106 and
56-4129 are 3 women's knit garments similar to T-shirts
constructed from a 100% cotton fabric. Style 56-4104 features, a
ribbed knit crew neck, removable shoulder pads and a small
embroidery in the center. Style 56-4106 features a ribbed knit
crew neck, a pocket at the left chest with embroidery and
shoulder pads. Style 56-4129 has a close fitting crossover
neckband.
The samples are being returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for style numbers 56-4104, 56-4106
and 56-4129 will be 6109.10.0070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for women's knit T-shirts
and similar articles of cotton. The rate of duty will be 21
percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 6109.10.0070 HTS, which
are products of Israel, are entitled to duty free treatment under
the United States Israel Free Trade Agreement upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
Style numbers 56-4104, 56-4106, and 56-4129 fall within
textile category designation 339. Based upon international
textile trade agreements, products of Israel have no visa or
quota requirements.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
