RE: The tariff classification of a wrist purse and jacks set
from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Gall:
In your letter dated November 14, 1991, on behalf of
Strombecker Corporation, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted sample is a blister package containing a wrist
purse constructed of textile man-made materials, a ball of hard
rubber and eight jumbo plastic jacks. Although the items are
blister packaged and will be sold at retail sale as a set,
however, for classification purposes the wrist purse will be
classified separately from the ball and jacks.
The applicable subheading for the wrist purse of textile
man-made materials will be 4202.32.9550, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles
of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with
outer surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers.
The duty rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the ball and jacks will be
9504.90.9080, HTS, which provides for articles for arcade, table
or parlor games, other. The duty rate will be 4.64 percent ad
valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.32.9550 fall within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to visa requirement
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
