RE: The tariff classification of a Toiletry Bag from China

Dear Ms. Gibson:

This replaces the letter that we sent you on April 14, 1999 under the same file number.

In your letter dated March 19, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample you submitted for our review, style 603321 (Silver color) and 603322 (Brown color), is a Round Tie-Up Toiletry Bag. The toiletry bag has an outer surface of man-made materials measuring approximately 7 1/2 inches in height x 5 inches in width. There are two pieces of fabric at the top used as a tie to secure the bag.

Please be advised that your sample will be returned to the above address.

The applicable subheading for the Toiletry Bag will be 4202.92.3031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, other, other, of man-made fibers, other. The rate of duty will be 18.8 percent ad valorem.

Items classifiable under 4202.92.3031 fall within textile category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to a quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements that 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.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,

WILLIAM J. LUEBKERT
Port Director
