RE:  The tariff classification of plastic carrying case from
China.

Dear Mr. Slagle:

     In your letter dated August 19, 1991, on behalf of 
Whitman's Chocolate, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a child's attache style carrying
case composed of a high impact molded plastic.  It is unlined,
and measures approximately 8" x 5" x 2 1/2".  The item features a
plastic carrying handle, and it closes by means of a catch lock
closure.  

     Your sample is being returned as you requested.
     
     The applicable subheading for the carrying case of molded
plastic will be 4202.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for trunks, suitcases,
traveling bags and similar containers, other, other, 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,
