The submitted sample is a tote bag, measuring 17 inches by
12 inches by 5 inches having a 100% linen fiber body with leather
trim.
Your sample is being returned per your request.
The applicable subheading for the linen tote bag will be

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,
