RE: The tariff classification of an evening bag from China.
Dear Mr. DeMarco:
In your letter dated September 24, 1998, on behalf of
Princeton Trading Co., you requested a tariff classification
ruling for an evening bag.
The sample submitted, style A-002-81, is a small evening bag
having a gun metal twist frame and braided cord shoulder strap.
The bag body is wholly covered on the front with plastic
spangles. The edges are covered with plastic beads and the rear
panel is of rayon satin.
The applicable subheading for style A-002-81, the evening
bag of plastic spangles, will be 3926.90.3300, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings
3901 to 3914: Other: Beads, bangles and spangles, not strung
(except temporarily) and not set; articles thereof, not elsewhere
specified or included: Handbags. The rate of duty will be 6.8
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
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kevin
