Item #5098 measures approximately 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", and item #5099 measures approximately 6 1/2" x 5" x 1 1/2". Both bags are secured by means of top textile zipper closures.

The applicable subheading for Items #5098 and #5099, the cosmetic bags of vinyl, will be 4202.92.4500 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of plastic sheeting, other. The duty rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.

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.
