RE: The tariff classification of a Travel Beauty Collection from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Young:
In your letter dated May 5, 1998, on behalf of Meijer, Inc.,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample consists of a clear vinyl zippered
toiletry bag, measuring 8-1/2" x 5" x 2", containing a plastic
toothbrush holder, a soap dish, two bottles with screw on tops, two
small containers with screw on lids, and a nail brush. The sample
is being retained for official purposes.
The applicable subheading for the Travel Beauty Collection
will be 9605.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for travel sets for personal toilet,
sewing or shoe or clothes cleaning (other than manicure and
pedicure sets of heading 8214). The rate of duty will be 8.1% ad
valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Lawrence Mushinske at
212-466-5739.
Sincerely,
