RE: The tariff classification of a "Calvin Klein" eyeglass case
from China.
Dear Mr. Isaacs:
In your letter dated January 22, 1998, on behalf of Marchon
Eyewear, Inc., Marcolin USA, Inc., and Rothandberg, Inc., you
requested a tariff classification ruling for a "Calvin Klein"
eyeglass case.
The sample submitted, no style number indicated, is a
"Calvin Klein" eyeglass case manufactured with an exterior
surface of plastic sheeting which is reinforced with a textile
backing. The case measures approximately 6 1/4"(L) x 3"(W) with
a zippered closure. Your sample is being returned as you
requested.
The applicable subheading for the eyeglass case of
reinforced plastic sheeting will be 4202.32.1000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the
handbag, with outer surface of sheeting of plastic, of reinforced
or laminated plastics. The rate of duty will be 12.1 cents/kg
plus 4.6 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
