RE: The tariff classification of a "Men's Travel Kit," style
number MS- 890, from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Garrity:
In your letter dated March 7, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective import consists of a plastic drawstring
pouch containing a razor, a loofah pad and a loofah back scrubber
both with textile backing, a plastic soap case, a plastic lotion
bottle, a plastic toothbrush holder, a foam sponge impregnated
with shoe polish, and a wooden brush.
The applicable subheading for the travel set 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
percent ad valorem.
Each item should be marked as clearly, legibly and indelibly
as possible with the proper country of origin.
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
Area Director
