RE: The tariff classification of a molded plastic lipstick case
from China.
Dear Ms. Cozart:
In your letter dated March 29, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted with your letter is a hinged case made
of molded plastics material, with a mirror in the lid. The case,
which measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches by 1 inch, is
designed to hold two lipstick tubes.
The applicable subheading for the lipstick case will be
3923.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing
of goods, of plastics: boxes, cases, crates and similar articles.
The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.
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
