RE: The tariff classification of reinforced paper bags from
Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Shyu:
In your letter dated September 27, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
A sample was submitted and will be retained for reference.
It is a 49 x 96 cm multiwall sack having an exterior of brown
kraft paper which is laminated to a lining of polypropylene
scrim. The base of the sack is sewn with twine.
You indicate that the bag is in chief value of paper and
that it will be used for packing animal feed bran.
The applicable subheading for the reinforced paper bags will
be 4819.30.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for shipping sacks and multiwall bags of
paper, other than grocers' bags, having a base of a width of 40
cm or more. The rate of duty will be 5.3%.
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
