RE: The tariff classification of a registration wallet from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Murphy :
In your letter dated March 9, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for a registration wallet.
You have submitted a sample of an item you described as an
"Auto Registration Wallet", which is similar to an ID case and
other containers of 4202 normally carried in the pocket or in the
handbag. The item is bifold in design and it is secured by means
of a hook and loop fastener. The interior is designed with two
clear plastic pockets to contain auto and/or other types of
personal identification. The case measures approximately 5 1/4"
x 4 3/4" in its folded position.
The applicable subheading for the registration wallet of pvc
plastic will be 4202.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for articles of a kind
normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with outer
surface of sheeting of plastic, other. The rate of duty will be
20 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
