RE:  The tariff classification of a garment bag from China.

Dear Mr. Duncan:

     In your letter dated May 1, 1991, on behalf of English-
American Import Export Co., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a plastic garment bag designed to
contain a suit while traveling.  It measures approximately 22" x
42" and feature a full length frontal zipper closure.  The bag
contains a 2" top opening for the inserting of a hanger.  

     The applicable subheading for the garment bag of plastic
will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags,
with outer surface of plastic sheeting, other.  The duty rate
will be 20 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,
