RE: The tariff classification of a wine bottle bag from El
Salvador.
Dear Mr. Alberdi:
In your letter dated July 27, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of
your importer, Bufkor, Inc., 13100 56th Court N. , Suite 710,
Clearwater, FL. 34620.
The submitted sample, no style number indicated, is a wine
bottle bag constructed of man-made fiber material. It closes
with a drawstring.
The applicable subheading for the wine bottle bag of man-made fiber will be 4202.92.9026, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for trunks,
suitcases, holsters and similar containers with outer surface of
textile materials, other, other, other of man-made fibers. The
duty rate will be 19% ad valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.9026. HTSUSA, fall within
textile category designation 670. As a product of El Salvador
this merchandise is not currently subject to a visa requirement
or quota restraints based upon international textile trade
agreements.
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, to obtain the most current information available, 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 Part
177 of the Customs Regulations.
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,
John J. Martuge
