RE: The tariff classification of a pouch for scissors from Hong
Kong.
Dear Ms. Carter:
In your letter dated July 29, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The pouches will be imported empty and will be used to package and sell
scissors. The pouches are composed of polyvinyl chloride.
The applicable subheading for the scissors pouch will be 3923.29.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics, sacks and bags
(including cones): of other plastics. The rate of duty will be 3 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
