RE:  The tariff classification of a desk pad or blotter, from
China.

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated May 7, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.       
  
     A sample was submitted, which will be retained for
reference.  It is a flat, rectangular paperboard sheet, 55 cm x
39 cm, approximately 4.3 mm thick, covered on both faces with
sheets of paper, pink in color, and is decorated with a red print
textile around the edges.  The left and right sides of the upper
face have textile-covered pockets, 6.5 cm in width, into which a
blotting pad may be inserted, which will cover that face.  You
designate the article as "Style 73-623 Desk Blotter".

     The applicable subheading for the desk pad or blotter
described, Style 73-623, will be 4820.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for : Other
(than certain enumerated) articles of stationery, of paper or
paperboard, including blotter pads.  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
