RE: The tariff classification of coin purses from China.
Dear Mr. Glover:
In your letter dated January 5, 1995, on behalf of The CDM
Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling for coin
purses.
You have submitted four samples of "Captain Planet" small
vinyl coin purses designed to be worn around the wrist. You have
indicated that when imported the items will contain one of a
variety of novelty articles. The purses measure approximately 2
1/4" x 2 1/2" with 1" gussets. They are secured by means of a
flap with a hook and loop fastener. The coin purses will be
properly classified under 4202.32.2000. The novelty articles
will be classified under the appropriate HTS applicable to said
article.
The applicable subheading for the coin purses (only) of
vinyl, will be 4202.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for articles of a kind
normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with outer
surface of sheeting of plastic, other. The rate of duty 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
