RE: The tariff classification of a tote bag from India

Dear Ms. Price:

In your letter dated June 11, 2010, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample will be returned to you.

Style K28353 is a tote bag constructed of a 100% cotton textile material. The tote bag is designed to provide storage, protection, organization, and portability to clothing and other personal effects during travel. The bag has an unlined main storage compartment with no additional features. It has an open top with two shoulder straps. It measures approximately 14.5” (W) x 14” (H) x 2” (D).

The applicable subheading for the tote bag will be 4202.92.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, of vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of cotton. The duty rate will be 6.3 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

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 Vikki Lazaro at (646) 733-3041.
