RE: The tariff classification of a "Padfolio" from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letter dated August 31, 1992, on behalf of Mead
Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The sample submitted is a "Padfolio", item #33064. The
"Padfolio" outer and inner surfaces are made of denier polyester
fabric. A filler of foam and paperboard are sandwiched between
the front and back cover of the "Padfolio". It is trimmed with
cowhide leather. In its open position, the left side contains 7
open pockets, one zippered pocket and sleeves for pens. The
right side contains a sleeve which accommodates a note pad (After
importation the note pad will be inserted in the sleeve). An
open pocket is sewn onto the back of the right side. In closed
position the "Padfolio" measures approximately 12 5/8 inches long
by 9 1/4 inches wide.
The applicable subheading for the "Padfolio" will be
6307.90.9986, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other: Other,
other. The rate of duty will be 7 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
