RE:  The tariff classification of a coin purse, a tote bag and
sunglasses        from China.

Dear Ms. Goodman:

     In your letter dated May 14, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, item #4226, called a "Mermaid Princess
Water Filled Tote Set" consists of a coin purse, a tote bag, and
a pair of sunglasses designed for girls four years and older.   

     The water-filled coin purse is constructed of clear plastic,
measuring approximately 4" x 4", and closes by means of a slide
zippered top closure.  It has an affixed plastic key chain
attached to the zipper closure.  The front of the purse is
printed with the "Mermaid Princess" logo.    
     
     The water-filled open top tote bag is constructed of clear
plastic, measuring approximately 10" x 10" with double plastic
carrying handles.  The front of the bag is printed with the
"Mermaid Princess" logo.  Even though the items are packed in a
blister pack, and obviously will be put up for retail sale to the
consumer as a set, however, for classification purposes each item
will be classified separately.

     We recommend that you consult with the Environmental
Protection Agency regarding the color-dye contained within the
articles.

     The applicable subheading for item #4226, the coin purse
with key chain of plastics, will be 4202.32.2000, 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 plastic sheeting, other.  The duty
rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.     

     The applicable subheading for item #4226, the tote bag of
plastic, will be 4202.92.4500, 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.  

     The applicable subheading for item #4226, the sunglasses,
will be 9004.10.0000, HTS, which provides for spectacles, goggles
and the like, corrective, protective or other: Sunglasses.  The
duty rate will be 7.2 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,
