RE:  The tariff classification of a fanny pak from Mexico.

Dear Mr. Lay:

     In your letter dated June 30, 1991, on behalf of Chillynex
Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a fanny pak designed with an
adjustable textile strap to be worn around the waist.  The
exterior is constructed of nylon textile materials.  The interior
incorporates a chilling insert feature consisting of a sock
filled with deionized water and a freezing agent which allows for
the contents of the fanny pack to be kept cold.  The item at
issue has a barrel shape, and is secured by means of a top
textile heavy-duty zippered closure.  The front of the bag
features the "Chillynex" trademark.  

     The applicable subheading for the fanny pak 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,

                                   
  
                                                  Jean F. Maguire
