RE: The tariff classification of golf bags from Mexico and/or
Honduras.
Dear Mr. Carmona:
In your letter dated October 3, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
You have requested a classification ruling for two items
described as golf bags said to be constructed of 100% nylon, and
100% vinyl. The items principle use is for a golfer to carry
and/or transport a set of golf clubs while playing golf. You
have stated that the items at issue will be designed with various
pockets, a carrying handle, and a detachable shoulder strap.
The applicable subheading for the golf bag 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.
The applicable subheading for the golf bag of 100% vinyl
will be 4202.92.4500, HTS, which provides for travel, sports and
similar bags, with outer surface of plastic sheeting, other. The
duty rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Mexico 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
