RE: The tariff classification of suitcase components from China.
Dear Ms. Mirga:
In your letter dated July 7, 1995, on behalf of Naluco,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The following components for the "Sky Cab", model number
1921, suitcase were submitted:
1. The "Front Panel" is made of nylon woven fabric.
It features on one side pockets with zipper
closures. The pockets interior are designed to
either organize files, store computer disks, pens
and calculators, etc. The other side have a
pocket constructed of open-worked warp knit fabric
with a zipper closure.
2. The "Inside Lid Pocket" is constructed of a
cardboard base covered with vinyl material. It
features a pocket made of nylon woven fabric with
elasticized top.
3. The "Tie Tape" is composed of a plastic release
buckle with elastic fabric inserted at each end
and sewn to appear as a double strap.
The above articles will be incorporated into a finished "Sky
Cab", model number 1921, suitcase in the United States.
The above components, as stated, each will be packed in
separate export cartons in groups of 24 pieces to a polybag. The
components are assumed to be exported to the United States in
separate shipments not including other components. If exported
in the same shipment as other components, this ruling may not
apply.
The applicable subheading for the "Front Panel", "Inside Lid
Pocket" and "Tie Tape" will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other
made up articles...Other: Other, other. The rate of duty will
be 7 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
Area Director
