RE: The tariff classification of a coin purse with a keyring from South Korea
Dear Ms. Jeong:
In your letter dated June 29, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have submitted
photographs and descriptive literature for our review.
The article in question, which you referred to as style “BTS HAT KEYRING,” is a coin purse made up to
emulate a hat. It is attached to a keyring. It performs the utilitarian functions of providing storage, protection,
portability, and organization to coins, keys, identification, or other similarly sized personal effects. It is
constructed of man-made textile material.
You have suggested subheading 7907.00.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
which provides for other articles ther articles of zinc. However, the article is more specifically provided for in
Heading 4202, HTSUS.
The applicable subheading for the coin purse will be 4202.32.9300, HTSUS, which provides for articles of a
kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with outer surface of textile materials: other: of
man-made fibers. The general rate of duty will be 17.6 percent ad valorem.
Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise must
be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the
Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time products from all countries
will be subject to an additional 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty. At the time of entry, you must report the
Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product classification, i.e. 9903.01.25, in addition to subheading 4
202.32.9300, HTSUS, listed above.
The tariffs and additional duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided
for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying
duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as
identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the
information furnished in the ruling letter, whether directly, by reference, or by implication, is accurate and
complete in every material respect. In the event that the facts are modified in any way, or if the goods do not
conform to these facts at time of importation, you should bring this to the attention of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) and submit a request for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2.
Additionally, we note that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic
verification by CBP.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs and Border Protection
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents
filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, please contact
National Import Specialist Vikki Lazaro at [email protected].
Sincerely,
(for)
