RE: The tariff classification of an insulated carry bag from
China.
Dear Ms. Haggin:
In your letter dated May 10, 1991, on behalf of Pacific Rim
Ventures, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample is an insulated carry bag designed with
a detachable shoulder strap to be carried on the shoulder as well
as affixed to a golf cart. It is constructed with an outer
surface of vinyl. The interior is insulated and designed to
contain six cans of beverage. The item measures approximately 5
3/4 inches in width and 17 1/2 inches in length. Your reference
to ruling #085323 and #082788 noted. However, unlike the molded
plastic coolers, the instant item is a soft-sided carrying bag.
The applicable subheading for the carry bag of plastics will
be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with
outer surface of plastic sheeting, other. The duty rate 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
