RE: The tariff classification of a jewelry roll and a vanity case from China
Dear Ms. Portillo:
In your letter dated December 21, 2017, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Viatek Consumer Products Group. You have submitted two samples which are being returned to you under separate cover.
Item DWEAR01, which you refer to as an earring organizer, is a jewelry roll. It is constructed with an outer surface of 100% polyester, a man-made fabric. It is designed to provide storage, protection, portability, and organization to jewelry and related accessories while traveling. The interior is divided into two sections which organize multiple pairs of earrings. One section contains 16 transparent plastic pockets to let an individual see the earrings when placed inside. The remaining section facilitates hanging the earrings on a threaded covered panel. In its rolled state, it secures with hook-and loop-tabs at each end. When fully open and lying flat, the jewelry roll measures approximately 23” (w) x 17” (h).
