RE:  The tariff classification of a pvc pouch from China

Dear Ms. Stunger:

     In your letter dated December 7, 1996 you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Your request is on behalf of Michael
Friedman Corporation.

     A sample of an item identified as style 8965V has been
submitted.  It is a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) snap pouch of the
kind similar to those used to contain cosmetics and/or toiletries
during travel.  

     The applicable subheading for style 8965V  will be
4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for  travel, sport and similar bags, with
outer surface of sheeting of plastic or of textile materials,
other.  The rate of duty 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 the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.  If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kevin
Gorman at 212-466-5893.
