RE: The tariff classification of a cosmetic bag, a pillow cover
and a Christmas stocking from Bangladesh and a pillow cover from
India.
Dear Ms. Giamboi:
In your letter dated July 14, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on a cosmetic bag, two pillow covers and a
Christmas stocking.
You have submitted four samples with your request. They are
as follows:
1. Item #1 is a travel cosmetic bag composed of 100% cotton
woven embroidered fabric. The bag measures approximately 7 1/2" x
5", and it is secured by means of a top textile zipper closure.
2. Item #2, identified as a "Pillow Case," is a 100 percent
cotton pillow or cushion cover with an embroidered design on its
front panel. The rectangular cover is nearly square, measuring 47
by 45 centimeters. Along the cover's bottom edge is a 32 centimeter zipper which is hidden by a flap. The item's embroidered design
only partially covers the base fabric.
3. Item #3 is a Christmas stocking with a loop designed to
hang on a mantel. It is made of 100 percent cotton embroidered fabric.
The stocking measures approximately 20 inches in length.
4. Item # 4, identified as an "Embroidered Pillow Case", is a
pillow or cushion cover from India. The square cover measures 41
centimeters on each side. The front panel of the cover is completely
covered with wool embroidery. The cotton back panel of the cover
has a 29 centimeter zipper which is hidden by a flap.
Your samples are being returned as you requested.

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
