Dear Mr. Gatto:

In your letter dated February 4, 1998, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of your importer, Coach Leatherware, 410 Commerce Blvd., Carlstadt, N.J. 07072.

You submitted two samples. Item #5014 is a 100% leather double handle travel kit. This bag features two elastic gusseted compartments, a full-length interior zip pocket and a toothbrush loop inside. It is carried by two handles and closes with a zipper around the sides and across the top. Item #5015 is a leather u-zip travel kit. This bag features a zippered compartment inside. It closes with a zipper across the top and is carried by one handle. Your samples will be returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the travel kits, item #5014 and item #5015 will be 4202.91.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated, which provides for: Other, travel sports and similar bags with outer surface of leather, of composition leather, or of patent leather. The duty rate will be 5% ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations.

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,

John J. Martuge
