RE:  The tariff classification of jewelry and trinket boxes from
China.

Dear Mr. Ji: 

     In your letter dated July 2, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

     You have submitted three samples with your request.
     Style #ZM-9057E and Style #ZM-9057L are jewelry boxes
covered with man-made textile material which are specially shaped
and fitted to contain jewelry.

     Style #ZM-9057H is a heart-shaped trinket box covered with
man-made textile material.

     Your samples are being returned as requested.  

     The applicable subheading for Style #ZM-9057E and Style #ZM-
9057L will be 4202.92.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for trunks,
suitcases...jewelry boxes...and similar containers, other, other,
of man-made fibers.  The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad
valorem.
                                                                 
     The jewelry boxes fall within textile category designation
670.  Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of China are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.  


     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, to obtain the most current information
available, 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.

     The applicable subheading for Style #ZM-9057H will be
6307.90.9490, 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,
