RE: The tariff classification of a coin purse, an eyeglass case
and a lipstick case from China.
Dear Ms. Webster:
In your letter dated May 11, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style #Q9600, consists of a coin
purse, an eyeglass case and a lipstick case, all constructed with
an outer surface of 100% cotton textile materials with PVC
linings. The coin purse and the eyeglass case close by means of
a top textile zipper closure. The lipstick case closes by means
of a flap with a snap closure. You have indicated that the items
are a three piece coin purse set. However, for classification
purposes each item will be classified separately.
The applicable subheading for style #Q9600, the coin purse,
eyeglass case and the lipstick case 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.
Items classifiable under 4202.32.4000 fall within textile
category designation 369. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of China 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
