RE:  The tariff classification of a plastic lunch box with
thermos from          Mainland China.

Dear Mr. Cohen:

     In your letter dated August 28, 1991, on behalf of Etna
Worldwide Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, style #8582, is a child's lunch box
containing a thermos with cup all constructed of molded plastics. 
The item is designed in the shape of a car, and features a molded
plastic carrying handle.  It closes by means of a slide lock
closure.
  
     The applicable subheading for style #8582, the lunch box
with thermos and cup of molded plastics, will be 4202.99.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for trunks, suitcases, traveling bags and similar
containers, other, other, other.  The duty rate will be 20
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,
