RE:  The tariff classification of a lunch bag from Mexico.

Dear Mr. Lay:

     In your letter dated July 9, 1991, on behalf of Chillynex
Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a lunch bag constructed with an
outer surface of nylon textile materials and lined with a
combination of textiles and plastics.  The item is designed to be
carried by the person to contain lunch, beverage, etc..  It
measures approximately 10" x 7 1/2" x 3".  Within the top flap
closure is a full width storage pocket that is secured by means
of a hook and loop closure.  You have indicated that the pocket
is designed to contain a "freezable sock" which is included, or
an insert to be used for keeping the lunch bag contents chilled. 
However, you have also indicated that the "freezable sock" will
be added to the lunch bag after importation.  The item features
an adjustable removable textile shoulder strap, in addition to a
textile carrying handle.  It close by means of a top textile
zipper closure. 

     The applicable subheading for the lunch bag of nylon textile
materials will be 4202.92.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for travel, sports and
similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, other, of
man-made fibers, other.  The duty rate will be 20 percent ad
valorem.  

     Items classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Mexico 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,
