RE:  The tariff classification of a plastic battery storage case
from Japan.

Dear Mr. Della Ventura:

     In your letter dated July 2, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.        
      
     The plastic battery storage case is used to keep battery
contacts clean, and to avoid short circuiting the batteries when
they are not in use.

     The applicable subheading for the plastic case will be
3926.90.9090, 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
