RE:  The tariff classification of a coin purse/key holder from
Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Ruskamp:

     In your letter dated July 12, 1991, on behalf of Case Logic,
Boulder, Colorado, you requested a tariff classification ruling. 


     The submitted sample is a nylon coin purse with a zipper
closure and a metal split ring key holder affixed to a self
material loop.

     Your sample is being returned as requested.

     The applicable subheading for the nylon coin purse/ key ring
will be 4202.32.9550, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for articles of a kind normally
carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with outer surface of
textile materials, other, other, of man-made fibers.  The duty
rate will be 20% ad valorem.

     The nylon coin purse/key ring falls within textile category
designation 670.  Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to a visa requirement
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, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraints 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
