RE: The tariff classification of garment bags from China.

Dear Ms. Keller:

In your letter dated June 7, 1993, on behalf of J. Jay Products Co., Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling for garment bags.

The samples submitted, items 40001 and 40011, are both garment bags constructed of plastic (PVC) vinyl with zippered fronts and an opening at the top for hangers. The only difference being one is designed for travel and one for storage. Item 40001, the travel garment bag, appears to be manufactured of PVC vinyl greater than 4mm thickness. Item 40011, the storage suit bag, appears to be manufactured of PVC clear vinyl less than 4mm thickness.

The applicable subheading for Item 40001, the travel garment bag of plastic PVC 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.

The applicable subheading for Item 40011, the storage suit bag of clear plastic PVC vinyl, will be 3924.90.5500, HTS, which provides for other household articles of plastics, other. The duty rate will 3.4 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.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
