RE:  The tariff classification of a cosmetic bag and a travel bag
of             plastic sheeting from China.

Dear Ms. White:

     In your letter dated July 30, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  
     
     You have submitted two samples, style numbers 480 and 481. 
Style #480 is a travel cosmetic bag constructed of a textile
print fabric with an exterior surface of clear plastic sheeting
with textile trim.  It is lined with plastic and measures
approximately 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 2".  It is secured by means of a
textile zipper with a plastic pull attached to the zipper.  

     Style #481 is a travel bag designed to contain books.  It is
constructed of a textile printed fabric with an outer exterior of
clear plastic sheeting.  It is lined with textile materials.  The
item is oval in shape with an oval base, similar in design to a
backpack; however the item at issue is designed with only one
adjustable shoulder strap.  It is secured by means of a top
textile drawstring closure.        

     Your samples are being returned as you requested.

     The applicable subheading for styles #480 and #481, the
cosmetic bag and travel bag of plastic, will be 4202.92.4500,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface
of plastic sheeting, other.  The duty rate will be 20 percent ad
valorem.

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
