RE:  The tariff classification of an insulated travel bag from
Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Hsiao:

     In your undated letter, received in this office August 23,
1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample is an insulated travel bag designed to
keep canned beverages cold while traveling and participating in
sports.  It is constructed with an outer surface of vinyl.  The
interior is composed of foam and insulation.  The item measures
approximately 29 inches in width and 5 1/2 inches in depth.  It
is designed with an adjustable textile strap, and it is secured
by means of a top textile zipper closure across the entire width
of the bag.  

     The applicable subheading for the insulated travel bag of
vinyl 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.     
     
    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
