Dear Mr. Myers:

RE: The tariff classification of toiletry bags of cotton and of a sheeting of plastics from China

Dear :

In your letter dated December 18, 2002 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The samples submitted are identified as style 29358. It includes two traveling bags of the kind normally used to contain toiletries. The bags are nested one within the other. The larger bag is manufactured of a clear sheeting of plastics with cotton denim trim and edging. The smaller is wholly of cotton denim. Although the bags are presented packed one within the other, they will be repackaged subsequent to importation and sold at retail containing toiletry items. You have indicated that the bags may also be sold separately at retail.

The applicable subheading for the toiletry bag of cotton denim will be 4202.92.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sport and similar bags, of a sheeting of textile materials, with outer surface of sheeting of plastic or of textile materials, with outer surface of textile materials, of cotton .

The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem. There is no change effective January 1, 2003.
