RE: The tariff classification of a jewelry box from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Jones:
In your letter dated November 26, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style #194R, is a velvet heart shaped
jewelry box constructed of textile man-made materials with a
metal trim. The box opens to reveal a fitted mirror in the lid
and the bottom section contains divided compartments with a
specially shaped and fitted section to contain rings.
The applicable subheading for style #194R, the jewelry box
of textile man-made materials, will be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
trunks, suitcases, jewelry boxes and similar containers, 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 Taiwan are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.
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
