RE: The tariff classification of kraft paper bags from Turkey.
Dear Mr. Cuschieri:
In your letter dated March 13, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
No sample was submitted, but you describe the items in
question as four-ply kraft paper bags having a polyethylene liner
on the inside. They will be about 7 x 21 x 24 inches in size and
may or may not be valved, depending on requirements. The bags,
which will have a basis weight of 70 grams per square meter, may
also be printed with your logo. They will be used to pack
plastic resins in bulk form.
The applicable subheading for the above-described bags will
be 4819.30.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for shipping sacks and multiwall bags of
paper or paperboard, other than grocers' bags, having a base of a
width of 40 cm or more. The duty rate will be 5.3%.
Articles classifiable under subheading 4819.30.0020, HTS,
which are products of Turkey, are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
