RE: The tariff classification of a nylon carry case from
Thailand.
Dear Mr. Jacob:
In your letter dated October 11, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
You have submitted a sample, and descriptive literature of
model #AN302, a nylon carrying case measuring approximately 14" x
8 1/2" x 2 3/4" designed to carry audio cassette tapes or compact
discs. The case is lined with a 1/8" foam tricot lining, and
contains a removable plastic fitted tray. The item is designed
with an adjustable textile shoulder strap, and is closed by means
of two side plastic zippers.
The applicable subheading for model #AN302, the nylon
carrying case, will be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and
similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, other,
other, other, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 20
percent ad valorem.
Item 4202.92.9020 falls within textile category designation
670. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Thailand are subject to quota restraints.
Please note item 4202.92.9020 is subject to (CVD)
Countervailing duties from Thailand.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint
Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which
is available for inspection at your local Customs office.
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
