RE: The tariff classification of tote bags from China

Dear Ms. Tsiavos:

In your letter dated September 26, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted samples are identified as “Trick or Treat Tote Bags,” item number 9391. The items are double handle tote bags similar to shopping bags. They are constructed wholly of man-made textile fabric. The totes are designed to contain personal effects and accessories during travel and are suitable for repetitive reuse. The front panel of the one depicts the face of a cat and the other depicts a pumpkin.

The applicable subheading for the tote bags will be 4202.92.3031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for travel, sports, and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers, other. The rate of duty will be 17.6% ad valorem.

HTSUS 4202.92.3031 falls within textile category designation 670. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.
