RE: The tariff classification of an organizer bag from China,
Hong Kong and/or Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Magyar:
In your letter dated August 14, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on an organizer bag.
The submitted sample, item 92-2001, described as a "Locker
Organizer Bag", is a trifold travel bag constructed with an
exterior surface of 100% nylon designed to contain personal
effects while traveling. The interior is lined with a
combination of textile and plastics, featuring several divided
zippered and open top compartments. The bag measures
approximately 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" in its folded position. It is
secured by means of a flap with a hook and loop closure. The
front of the bag features the "Class Act" logo.
The applicable subheading for item 92-2001, the travel
organizer bag of 100% nylon, 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.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of China and Taiwan are subject to visa
requirements and quota restraints. Products of Hong Kong are
subject to visa requirements.
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
