RE: The tariff classification of a spectacle case from Korea, and a wallet, a beaded cuff and a beaded collar from China.

Dear Mr. Lebowitz:

In your letter dated August 26, 1994, you requested a classification ruling for a spectacle case, a wallet, a beaded cuff and a beaded collar.

You have submitted four samples with your request, identified as item numbers 1,2,3 and 4. They are as follows:

Item #2 is a spectacle case composed of an exterior surface of eel skin with a textile lining. The case measures approximately 3 inches in width by 7 1/2 inches in length.

Item #3, described as a "Beaded Cuff," is a lady's cuff composed of a woven man-made fiber with beads. The principle use for the item is to be used as an accessory accent to be worn over the cuff of a basic woman's blazer, jacket, sweater or shirt. Its function is simply to dress up an otherwise plain article of clothing.

Item #4, described as a "Beaded Collar", is a lady's knitted net collar of man-made fiber with beads. The item is designed to be worn over the clothing to dress up a plain dress, shirt, sweater or jacket or simply to help turn a plain item into a much fancier one.

Your samples are being returned as you requested.

The applicable subheading for Item #2, the spectacle case of eel skin, will be 4202.31.6000, HTS, which provides for articles of

a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with outer surface of leather, of composition leather or of patent leather, other. The duty rate will be 8 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for Item #3, the man-made fiber cuff with beads, will be 6217.10.0030, HTS, which provides for: Other made up clothing accessories; parts of garments or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212: Accessories... of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 15.5 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for Item #4, the knitted net collar of man-made fibers with beads, will be 6117.80.0035, HTS, which provides for: Other made up clothing accessories knitted or crocheted; Knitted or crocheted parts of garments or of clothing accessories: Other accessories... of man-made fibers, other. The duty rate will be 15.5 percent ad valorem.

Items classifiable under 6217.10.0030 and 6117.80.0035 fall within textile category designation 659. As a product of China this merchandise is subject to visa requirements and quota restraints based upon international textile trade agreements.

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.

Regarding item #1, the wallet on a string of 100 percent cotton tapestry fabric. Your request for a tariff classification ruling is being forwarded to the Office of Regulation and Rulings, U.S. Customs Service Headquarters, 1301 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20229 for their review. A ruling will be issued to you from that 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
