RE: The tariff classification of a 100% nylon lunch bag from
China.
Dear Mr. Papier:
In your letter dated January 8, 1991, on behalf of R & S
Sales Co., Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, called "Le Lunch Sacque", is a 100%
nylon lunch bag designed to carry a packed lunch. The bag
measures approximately 6" x 8 3/4" closed and 6" x 11 3/4"
opened. The item is unlined and closes by means of a hook and
loop closure. The front of the bag is printed with "Le Lunch
Sacque". Your sample is being returned per your request.
The applicable subheading for the item called "Le Lunch
Sacque", of 100% nylon textile materials, will be 4202.92.3030,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface
of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers, other. The duty
rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.
Item 4202.92.3030 falls within textile category designation
670. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of China 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
