Dear Ms. Bischof:

The item is a zippered case that measures 12 1/2” x 10” x 1 3/4”, and is of a kind that is designed to include goods normally carried in a briefcase or attache case. The interior is fitted with a pad holder on the right side with a pad. The left interior has a full-width file folder with 1 1/2” gusset, zippered pocket, open full-width pocket, I.D. window, CD slot, and five card slots. On the front exterior, there is an open pocket. The exterior surface of the case is made of textile material of man-made fibers.

This product falls within textile category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are currently subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web site at www.customs.gov. 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.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kevin Gorman at 212-637-7091.
