RE: The tariff classification of a ladies handbag from China.

Dear Ms. Wierbicki:

The front compartment features a zippered money pocket, multiple credit card slots, elasticized loop holder and two open pockets. The rear compartment features a back wall zippered pocket. On the front exterior of the bag, there is an open pocket. The bag features a detachable shoulder strap and top carry handle.

The applicable subheading for #PP194490 will be 4202.22.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for handbags, whether or not with shoulder straps, including those without handleÂwith outer surface of sheeting of plastic. The rate of duty will be 18% ad valorem.
