RE: The tariff classification of a cutlery holder, a lingerie bag
and a tissue holder from Brazil.
Dear Mr. Clune :
In your letter dated March 31, 1993, on behalf of Silver Rain,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling on a cutlery
holder, a lingerie bag and a tissue holder.
You have submitted three samples, no style numbers indicated, of a
cutlery holder, a travel lingerie bag and a tissue holder, all constructed
essentially of 100% cotton woven fabric with lace trim. The cutlery holder
measures approximately 8 1/2" x 5", the travel lingerie bag measures
approximately 12" x 9 1/2", and the tissue holder measures approximately 5"
x 7".
The applicable subheading for the cutlery holder constructed
essentially of 100% cotton woven fabric will be 4202.92.6000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for trunks,
suitcases, traveling bags and similar containers, with outer surface of
textile materials, other, of cotton. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the travel lingerie bag constructed
essentially of 100% cotton woven fabric will be 4202.92.1500, HTS, which
provides for travel, sports and similar bags, 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
The applicable subheading for the tissue holder constructed
essentially of 100% cotton woven fabric will be 4202.32.4000, 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 4202.92.6000, 4202.92.1500 and 4202.32.4000
fall within textile category designation 369. Based upon international
textile trade agreements, products of Brazil 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
