RE:  The tariff classification of a plastic travel pouch from
Taiwan.

Dear Ms. DeEsposito:

     In your letter dated September 10, 1991, on behalf of Empire
Mercantile Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
      
     The submitted sample is a clear plastic drawstring travel
pouch.  It is unlined and measures approximately 5 1/2" x 7" x
3".  You have indicated that the item may have cardboard within
the bottom to give it rigidity.
You have also indicated that upon importation within the United
States, the item will be filled with Empire Mercantile's customer
products.   

     The applicable subheading for the travel pouch of clear
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.     

    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
