RE:  The tariff classification of a jewelry pouch from China.

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated May 8, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, style #1000, is a travel drawstring
jewelry pouch constructed with an outer surface of 100% cotton
textile materials.  The interior is lined with textile materials,
and it is designed with eight inside pockets to contain
individual pieces of jewelry.

     The applicable subheading for style #1000, the travel
jewelry pouch of 100% cotton textile materials, will be
4202.92.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with
outer surface of textile materials, of vegetable fibers and not
of pile or tufted construction, of cotton.  The duty rate will be
7.2 percent ad valorem.  

     Item 4202.92.1500 falls within textile category designation
369.  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, 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
