RE: The tariff classification of a wallet, lipstick holder, checkbook cover and key ring from China.

Dear Ms. Milling:

In your letter dated August 3rd, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling for a wallet, lipstick holder, checkbook cover, and key ring from China.

The checkbook cover consists solely of a cover for one's checks. The wallet measures 8" in height by 5 1/2" in width and has an exterior surface of a fabric-backed sheeting of plastic. The wallet is secured by means of a front flap and two full-length side zippered closures.
