RE: The tariff classification of an unfinished golf bag from
Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Park:
In your letter dated October 22, 1992, on behalf of All
American Golf, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling
on an unfinished golf bag.
You have submitted a sample of an unfinished golf bag, i.e.,
parts sufficiently dedicated to be a golf bag. The outer surface
is constructed of nylon textile material. You have stated that
the unfinished golf bag will be assembled after importation and
sold at wholesale and/or retail as a finished golf bag.
The applicable subheading for the unfinished golf bag of
nylon textile material will be 4202.92.3030, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel,
sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials,
other, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 20 percent ad
valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to visa
requirements.
Your reference to the country of origin marking noted.
Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended provides that,
unless excepted, every article of foreign origin imported into
the United States shall be marked in a conspicuous place as
legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article
will permit, in such a manner as to indicate to the ultimate
purchaser in the United States the English name of the country of
origin of the article. The finished product must be marked with
a sewn-in fabric label in a conspicuous location.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint
Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which
is available for inspection at your local Customs office.
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
