Dear Ms. Grego:

In your letter dated February 13, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling for a handbag.

It is manufactured with an exterior surface of 100% cotton with decorative plastic beads/spangles. The interior of the bag is textile lined with no additional features. The handbag has a top zippered closure and a braided textile carry strap.

The applicable subheading for Item #SKU-811680 will be 4202.22.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for handbags, whether or not with shoulder strap, including those without handle, with outer surface of textile materials, other, of vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of cotton.
