RE: The tariff classification of a denim waist belt bag from
Korea.
Dear Ms. Maghakian:
In your letter dated January 7, 1993, on behalf of Everest
Trading Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling
on a denim waist belt bag .
The sample submitted is a denim waist belt bag composed of
100% cotton woven fabric. It measures approximately 10" x 6"
with front and back zippered storage pockets.
You have acknowledged that there is an Exclusion Order on
acid-washed denim. However, you have indicated that the item is
a water-washed denim waist belt bag. Your sample is being
returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the denim waist belt bag of
100% cotton woven fabric will be 4202.92.1500, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for travel,
sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials,
of vegetable fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of
cotton. The duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.1500 fall within textile
category designation 369. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Korea 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
