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

Dear Ms. Iacono:

     In your letter dated May 1, 1991, on behalf of Clothestime,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     You have submitted a sample and photo, of style #7019A, a
travel cosmetic bag constructed with an outer surface of rayon
satin and lined with PVC.  The item is designed to contain
personal effects while traveling, and it measures approximately 9
1/2" x 5 1/2" x 5".  It features double self fabric carrying
handles, and closes by means of a top zipper closure.  Your
sample is being returned per your request.

     The applicable subheading for style #7019A, the travel
cosmetic bag of rayon textile materials, 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 China 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
