RE: The tariff classification of a cosmetic bag from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Webster:
In your letter dated December 30, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style #58073, is a cosmetic bag
constructed of a 100% cotton outer surface with a plastic lining.
The bag is rectangular in shape, measures approximately 6 1/2" x
6" and closes by means of a zipper closure. The item at issue is
of the type normally carried in the handbag.
The applicable subheading for style #58073, the cosmetic bag
of 100% cotton textile materials, will be 4202.32.4000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or
in the handbag, with outer surface of textile materials, of
vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of
cotton. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
Item 4202.32.4000 falls within textile category designation
369. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Taiwan are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.
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, 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 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
