RE: The tariff classification of a shopping bag from England.
Dear Ms. Liaghat:
In your letter dated June 5, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for a shopping bag.
The sample submitted, identified as a "Trolley Bag", is a
double handle shopping bag composed of polyethylene plastic. It
is unlined and measure approximately 15" x 16" x 16". You have
indicated that the shopping bag will be imported in various
sizes.
The applicable subheading for the shopping bag of
polyethylene plastic will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel,
sports and similar bags, with outer surface of sheeting of
plastic, other. The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the other items in your request.
Your request for a classification ruling should include an actual
sample of the items as being imported. Photos on literature not
clear enough to actually identify the items.
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
