RE: The tariff classification of nylon carrying cases from
Taiwan
Dear Mr. Hamadi:
In your letter dated June 26, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Your request is on behalf of Ace
Products, Inc.
You have submitted samples of items identified as styles RP-
1 and FC-201. Each item is constructed of an outer surface of
man-made textile material, has a foam inner lining, double
carrying handles, a nylon coil closure and a large exterior
utility pocket which is printed with the word " Digitech". You
have indicated that the articles are designed to contain musical
instrument parts. The samples are being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the nylon carrying cases will
be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other carrying cases, other, other, of
man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.
Tariff item number 4202.92.9020 falls within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to quota and visa
restrictions.
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
