RE: The tariff classification of a cosmetic case from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Garrity:
In your letter dated January 19, 1995, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The cosmetic case is composed of molded plastics, and has
three compartments meant to hold lipstick, lip balm and roll-on
fragrance. A mylar mirror is attached to the side of the case.
The case will be imported empty. Your letter indicates that a
plastic pouch, for which no sample is available, will be imported
with the case. In a telephone conversation, however, you stated
that the case will be imported without the pouch. This ruling
applies only to the cases imported without a pouch.
The applicable subheading for the cosmetic case will be
3923.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing
of goods, of plastics, boxes, cases, crates and similar articles.
The rate of duty will be 3 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
Area Director
