RE: The tariff classification of travel bag from China

Dear Ms. Bryant:

In your letter dated January 16, 2007, you requested a classification ruling.

The sample submitted is identified as item 018645. It is a travel bag manufactured with an outer surface of man-made fiber textile material. It is designed to provide storage, protection, organization and portability to toy cars and other small personal effects during travel. It measures approximately 6.5" (W) x 4" (H) x 2.5" (D). It features a top zippered closure and a carrying handle. This office is retaining the bag as an official sample.

The applicable subheading for the travel pouch 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 duty rate will be 17.6 percent ad valorem.

With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.
