RE: The tariff classification of a plastic credit card holder with a steel key ring and a plastic charm holder with a steel key ring from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Castellanos:

In your letter dated June 19, 1990, on behalf of AMCAM International, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. Two samples were submitted. The plastic credit card holder (Item 220-43S), in addition to holding credit cards, serves as a tag for the steel key ring. The PZ charm holder with the key ring (Item 220-42S) consists of a small plastic tag that can hold small photographs. The credit card holder measures 2 1/4" X 4". The PZ charm measures 1" X 1 1/4". The applicable subheading for the credit card holder with a key ring will be 3926.90.9050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the PZ charm holder with a key ring will be 7326.90.9090, HTS, which provides for other articles of iron or steel. The rate of duty will be 5.7 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
