RE: The tariff classification of hanger-bags and magazine and
book savers from Hong Kong.
Dear Ms Bird:
In your letter dated February 12, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The hanger-bag consists of a plastic hanger attached to a
clear polyethylene bag. The hanger-bag is used for storage and
rack display of merchandise, such as garments. Although the
hanger-bags are said to be capable of use in carrying the
merchandise, it is noted the bag does not have a seal, and that
they are designed for reuse in displaying items.
The magazine and book covers or savers are composed of
polyvinyl chloride. They are used to preserve books and
magazines in libraries, schools, hospitals and waiting rooms.
The applicable subheading for the hanger-bags will be
3926.90.9090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics, other. The
rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the magazine and book savers
will be 3926.10.0000, HTS, which provides for other articles of
plastics...office or school supplies other. The rate of duty
will be 5.3 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
