RE: The tariff classification of a CARRY CASE from CHINA.

Dear Ms. Kwok:

In your letter dated May 14, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

The sample submitted with your request, a knock down carry
case, similar to a trunk, is approximately 19" x 16" x 11" in
size. The case has an undivided textile lined interior, handle
at each end and maintains its form by means of velcro strips. You
indicate this item is dedicated to hold cosmetics as promotional
merchandise. The case is constructed of 100
woven cotton canvas.

The applicable subheading for the case will be 4202.12.4000,

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for trunks...and similar containers, with outer surface
of textile materials, of vegetable fibers and not of pile or
tufted construction, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 6.8
percent ad valorem.

The carry case falls within textile category designation

369. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of China in category 369 are subject to visa and quota
requirements.

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 Part 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,


Previous Ruling Next Ruling
