Dear Mr. Maher: In your letter dated June 10, 1997 you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of High Sierra. The sample will be returned as requested.

The rate of duty will be 33.5%. The garment falls within textile category designation 639. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan, are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa. 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.
