RE: The tariff classification of a card holder from China
Dear Ms. MacMillan:
In your letter dated June 4, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification. A sample was submitted for our examination.
The sample submitted, "Clip Wallet-Credit Card Holder," is a
holder designed to carry credit or business cards. It measures
approximately 3 x 5 inches with a metal clip affixed at the back.
The metal clip may be used to secure currency. It has an
unsecured top and an outer surface of cowhide leather. Your
sample is herein returned.
The applicable subheading for the credit card holder will be
4202.31.6000, 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 leather,
composition leather or patent leather. The rate of duty will be
8% 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.
Sincerely,
Jon A. Batt
