RE: The tariff classification of a CELLULAR PHONE CASE from

CHINA.

Dear Mr. Parsons :

In your letter dated May 12, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

The sample submitted with your request, no item number, is a
cellular phone case approximately 7" x 3.5" in size. The item has
a flap top with velcro closure, a small exterior pocket without
closure and a plastic clip for attaching the item to a belt loop.

This case is constructed of neoprene.

The applicable subheading for the phone case will be

4202.92.9026, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for trunks...,binocular cases, holsters and
similar containers, other, other, with outer surface of textile
materials, other, of man made fibers. The rate of duty will be 19
percent ad valorem.

This case falls within textile category designation 670.

Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of

China in category 670 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
