RE: The tariff classification of item organizers from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Dugan:

In your letter dated April 12, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted three samples with your request. Style number F100340 is a jewelry box measuring 12" x 8" x 9" and covered with man-made textile materials.

Style number F100320 is a jewelry box measuring 8" x 6" x 3.5" and covered with man-made textile materials.

The applicable subheading for the jewelry boxes will be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for jewelry boxes...and similar containers, other, other of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem.

Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on Style Number F100600, an organizing tray. Your request for a classification ruling should include a component material breakdown by weight and value.

Style numbers F100340 and F100320 fall within textile category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.

Your samples are being returned as requested.

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 (Restraints 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 Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
