RE: The tariff classification of a drawstring travel pouch from
Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Hussey:
In your letter dated April 12, 1994, on behalf of Saks Fifth
Ave., you requested a tariff classification ruling for a drawstring
travel pouch.
The sample submitted, no style number indicated, is a
drawstring travel pouch composed of textile man-made woven fabric
designed to contain personal effects. The pouch is lined with
textile material and measures approximately 4 inches by 6 inches by
3 1/2 inches. The item is gold in color with a metallic-look
finish. The top is secured by means of a twisted drawstring
closure.
The applicable subheading for the drawstring travel pouch of
textile man-made fabric 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 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
