RE: The tariff classification of a garment bag from China

Dear Ms. Stanczak:

In your letter dated September 20, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample is being returned to you.

The submitted sample is a garment bag identified in your letter as style B18. The garment bag is constructed with an outer surface of man-made textile fabric. The bag is designed to contain clothing and accessories during travel. The bag features a zippered opening in the center and another opening at the top for a clothing hanger. It measures approximately 24"(W) x 40"(H) and features two reinforced carrying handles.

The applicable subheading for the garment bag 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 With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise, which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries. The textile category number above applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries.

To obtain the most current information on quota and visa requirements applicable to this merchandise, we suggest you check, close to the time of shipment, the "Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas" which is available on our web site at www.cbp.gov. For current information regarding possible textile safeguard actions on goods from China and related issues, we refer you to the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel of the Department of Commerce at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
