RE:  The tariff classification of a plastic bag from Taiwan.

Dear Mr. Feder:

     In your letter dated April 23, 1991, on behalf of American
Specialties, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. 
      
      
     The bag is composed of polyvinyl chloride.  It is
approximately 25 inches in width and 20 1/2 inches in height. 
The bag is used as a liner for waste receptacles in hospitals and
general washroom areas.  The bag is substantially constructed and
is designed for reuse.
     
     The applicable subheading for the bag will be 3926.90.9050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other articles of plastics, other.  The rate of duty
will be 5.3 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,



                                             Jean F. Maguire
