Style #JM402 is a zippered C.D. case that is designed to hold 48 CDs. Style #JM403 is a cell phone case that is secured by a front flap with a hook and loop closure and has a detachable carry handle. Style #MH1107 is a double handle handbag with an interior lining and zippered closure.

The applicable subheading for #JM402 and #JM403 will be 4202.92.9026, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for trunks, suitcases, vanity caseswith outer surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 18.6% ad valorem.

In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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