RE:  The tariff classification of a satin cosmetic pouch from
Hong Kong,         China, and/or Japan.

Dear Mr. Persily:

     In your letter dated July 29, 1991, on behalf of Shiseido
Cosmetics, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a travel cosmetic pouch constructed
of 83% satin/17% PVC.  It is lined with textile man-made
materials, and measures approximately 7 1/2" x 6 1/2".  It is
secured by means of a top textile drawstring closure.   

     The applicable subheading for the travel cosmetic pouch of
textile man-made materials will be 4202.92.3030, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile
materials, other, of man-made fibers, other.  The duty rate will
be 20 percent ad valorem.     

     Items classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to visa
requirements.  Products of China and Japan 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, 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.

     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
