nylon woven fabric with a vinyl lining. It features inside and
outside pockets. In its zippered position it measures
approximately 6 inches long by 8 3/4 inches wide.
The third Bible case, with no style number, is made from
sheeting of cellular vinyl backed with a plain woven fabric
scrim. This construction is considered to be plastics for tariff
classification purposes. It features inside and outside pockets.
In its zippered position it measures approximately 7 13/16 inches
long by 10 3/4 inches wide.
The applicable subheading for the Bible cases, style numbers
ORG10 and CC90G will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
