RE: The tariff classification of a nylon carry case from China.
Dear Mr. Wahlers:
In your letter dated February 18, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on a nylon carry case.
The submitted sample, no style number indicated, is a double
handle carry case constructed of 100% nylon designed to contain
hand-held video games. The interior is specially designed with
game compartments that has see-through mesh pocket for easy video
selection. The rear compartment, designed to contain the games,
has an adjustable "Velcro" divider. The front has a zippered
pocket designed to hold headphones, cables and other accessories.
The case measures approximately 12" x 7" x 4", and it is secured
by means of a top textile zipper closure.
The applicable subheading for the carry case for video games
of 100% nylon, will be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for trunks, suitcases,
camera cases and similar containers, with outer surface of
textile materials, other, other, of man-made fibers. The duty
rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.
Items classifiable under 4202.92.9020 fall within textile
category designation 670. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of China 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
