RE: The tariff classification of a waist bag from China.
Dear Ms. Aldinger:
In your letter dated November 17, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on a waist bag.
The sample submitted, item 93686, described as a "Waist Belt
Bag", is a waist bag designed with a textile belt to be worn
around the waist. The belt is secured by means of a plastic
slide-lock fastener. The bag is constructed with an outer
surface of vinyl with a textile inner lining. It measures
approximately 7" x 3" x 3 1/2". The bag is secured by means of a
top textile zipper closure. The front of the bag features the
"California girl" logo.
The applicable subheading for item 93686, the waist bag of
vinyl, will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and
similar bags, with outer surface of plastic sheeting, other. The
duty rate will be 20 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
