RE: The tariff classification of "Wallet/Shopping Bag" from
China.
Dear Ms. Murphy:
In your letter dated January 11, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, called a "Wallet/Shopping Bag", is
essentially a shopping bag constructed of nylon textile
materials. When folded the bag fits within a wallet size vinyl
zippered bottom. Unzippered the bag measures approximately 12
1/2" x 15" and zippered it measures approximately 5" x 4 1/2".
Zippered the item also features an outer full width zippered
storage pocket. The item is an open top bag with double self
fabric carrying handles.
The applicable subheading for the item called
"Wallet/Shopping Bag" of nylon textile materials will be
4202.92.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), 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 20 percent ad valorem.
Item 4202.92.3030 falls within textile category designation
670.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint
Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which
is available for inspection at your local Customs office.
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
