RE: The tariff classification of a travel case from Italy.
Dear Ms. Ehme:
In your letter dated September 8, 1994, on behalf of Dixie
Int'l Co., you requested a tariff classification ruling for a
travel case.
The sample submitted, no style number indicated, identified as
a "Motorcycle Trunk", is a travel case that can be removed or
permanently attached to a motorcycle by means of a fixing plate,
nuts and screws. The case is composed of a strong molded plastic.
The item is designed with a lock and key which allows the cyclists
to secure items while traveling or while the motorcycle is parked
and unattended. The case is designed with a molded plastic
integrated carry handle for easy transport. Your sample is being
returned as you request.
The applicable subheading for the travel case of molded
plastic will be 4202.12.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for trunks, suitcases, vanity
cases and similar containers, with outer surface of plastics,
structured, rigid on all sides. The rate of duty will be 20
percent ad valorem.
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
