RE: Modification of Headquarters Ruling Letter (HRL) 083817.
Executive organizer; pocket book; hand bag; 4820.10.20

Dear Ms. Abend:

     On April 28, 1989, this office issued HRL 083817 classifying
an executive organizer in subheading 4820.10.20, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), which
provides for diaries, notebooks and address books, bound;
memorandum pads, letter pads and similar articles.  After much
discussion and consideration, we have re-examined the proper
classification of this article.

     The article in issue (style 208) is a leather covered,
sectional-calendar telephone address note-type book.  The items
are removable and are held in place by cardboard appendages which
slide into inserts within the inner lining of the cover.

     In our opinion, the leather cover imparts the essential
character of this set; it secures in one convenient location, the
telephone and address indexer, note pad, and calendar.  Measuring
approximately 8-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches when closed, the cover
is too large to be classified in 4202.31.6000, HTSUSA, as an
article normally carried in the pocket or handbag.  Consequently,
the executive organizer is classifiable as an "other article of
leather" in subheading 4205.00.8000, HTSUSA.  Articles so
classified enter the U.S. free of duty.

     In accordance with the above determination, HRL 083817 is
hereby modified pursuant to 19 CFR 177.9(d).



                                Sincerely,


                                John Durant, Director
                                Commercial Rulings Division
