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

Dear Ms. Webster:

     In your letter dated May 9, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, style #6257, is a clear plastic travel
cosmetic bag with accessories consisting of an eyeglass case, a
smoke tote, a coin purse and a lipstick case, all constructed
with an outer surface of 100% cotton textile materials with PVC
linings.   

     The applicable subheading for style #6257, the travel
cosmetic bag of plastic, will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (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 style #6257, the eyeglass
case, smoke tote, coin purse, and lipstick case of 100% cotton
textile materials, will be 4202.32.4000, HTS, which provides for
articles of a kind normally carried in the pocket or in the
handbag, with outer surface of textile materials, of vegetable
fibers and not of pile or tufted construction, of cotton.  The
duty rate will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.

     Items 4202.32.4000 falls within textile category designation
369.  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
