RE: The tariff classification of a pencil pouch from Taiwan,
China and/or Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Magyar:
In your letter dated August 12, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on a pencil pouch.
The sample submitted is a pencil pouch constructed of vinyl.
It is unlined and measures approximately 8 1/2 inches by 4
inches. The pouch is secured by means of a top textile zipper
closure. The front of the pouch features the "Where's Waldo"
trademark.
The applicable subheading for the pencil pouch of vinyl,
will be 4202.32.2000, 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
plastic sheeting, other. The duty rate 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
