RE: The tariff classification of vinyl zipper bags from Hong
Kong.
Dear Ms. Mince:
In your letter dated February 7, 1992, on behalf of English
American Import Export Company, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The vinyl bags are used to package blankets and other
bedding articles. Blankets are often sold at retail in such
bags.
The applicable subheading for the vinyl bags will be
3923.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing
of goods, of plastics; sacks and bags of other plastics. The
rate of duty will be 3 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
