RE: The tariff classification of a shopping bag from China
and/or Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Ohira:
In your letter dated February 20, 1992, on behalf of
Institutional Financing Services, Inc., you requested a tariff
classification ruling on a shopping bag.
The submitted sample is an open top double handle shopping
bag composed of polyethylene with an outer surface of plastic
sheeting. It is unlined and measures approximately 17 1/2 inches
by 18 inches with 10 inch gussets.
The applicable subheading for the shopping bag of plastic
sheeting will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (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.
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
