RE:  The tariff classification of a boat carrying bag from Korea.

Dear Mr. Kim:

     In your letter dated April 9, 1991, on behalf of Mercury
Marine, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is a nylon carrying/storage bag
designed to contain an inflatable boat.  The bag's general
dimensions are approximately 3' x 4' x 1'.  It features double
webbed textile carrying handles and closes by means of a top
textile zippered closure.  It has been noted that the bag at
issue involves shipments of warranty boat replacement bags that
do not include the boat.  Regardless of the quantity, unless
exempted, the article will be classified in its imported
condition.   

     The applicable subheading for the boat carrying bag 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.   

     Item 4202.92.3030 falls within textile category designation
670.  Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Korea 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
