RE: The tariff classification of a "Summertime Netting" and a "Travel Tote"
from China.
Dear Mr. Kenny:
In your letter dated August 1, 1994, on behalf of Summer Infant Products,
Cumberland, Rhode Island, you requested a classification ruling.
The "Summertime Netting" is a cover made of nylon raschel knit, open-work,
fabric. Sewn around the edges is a textile woven fabric. The article is used
to cover a child seat to give protection against insects.
The "Travel Tote" is a double handle tote bag composed of nylon woven
fabric. It measures approximately 15 inches long by 20 inches wide with 4 3/16
inch gussets. The top is held closed with with metal snap fasteners. It features
5 open pockets on the inside and one open pocket on the outside. Printed on one
side within a design are the words "Summer Infant Products, Inc".
The applicable subheading for the "Summertime Netting" will be 6307.90.9989,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
made up articles...Other: Other, other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad
valorem.
The applicable subheading for the "Travel Tote" will be 4202.92.3030, HTS,
which provides for travel sport and similar bags with outer of textile materials,
other, other, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad
valorem.
The "Travel Tote falls within textile category designation 670. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to quota
and visa requirements.
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, to obtain
the most current information available, 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
