RE: The tariff classification of plastic iPod carrying cases from China

Dear Ms. Pena:

In your undated letter that was received in this office on September 25, 2006, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample is being returned as requested.

The submitted samples are iPod cases identified as style TU9285/2. The two cases measure approximately 1¾”(W) x 3½”(H) x 1/2”(D). They are constructed wholly of silicone plastics. They are handheld cases specially shaped and fitted for iPod devices. The front of each case features a circular opening that provides access to the iPod.

The applicable subheading for the iPod case will be 4202.99.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other containers and cases. The rate of duty will be 20% ad valorem.

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/.

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 Vikki Lazaro at 646-733-3041.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
