RE:  The tariff classification of a neck pouch, a wrist pouch, a
belt pouch        and a tote bag from Thailand.

Dear Ms. O'Boyle:

     In your undated letter, received in this office July 23,
1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of
Village Crafters and Semke Exclusives, Ltd.      
     
     You have submitted four samples with your request.

     The neck pouch, the wrist pouch and the belt pouch are all
made of nylon textile material and are essentially purses of the
kind normally carried in the pocket or handbag.  All of the
pouches have zipper closures.

     The open top tote bag, which is also constructed of nylon
textile material, is unlined with double handles and a "T"
gusset. 

     Your samples are being returned as requested.
     
     The applicable subheading for the neck pouch, the wrist
pouch and the belt pouch will be 4202.32.9550, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for articles
of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, with
outer surface of textile materials, other, other, of man-made
fibers.  The rate of duty will be 20% ad valorem.

     The applicable subheading for the tote bag will be
4292.92.3030, which provides for travel, sports and similar bags,
with outer surface of textile materials, other, other, of man-
made fibers, other.  The rate of duty will be 20% 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,
