RE: The tariff classification of a carrying bag from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Zelman:
In your letter dated June 17, 1993, on behalf of Romar
International Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling

The sample submitted, style 12390B, described as a "Baby Bottle

interior surface of plastic. The bag is cylindrical in shape measuring
approximately 8 1/2 inches in height. There is a textile zipper closure
approximately 1 1/4 inches from the top and a textile carry handle on the
top.
The applicable subheading for Style 12390B, the carrying bag of
plastic, will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, 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
