RE:  The tariff classification of a cosmetic bag set from Taiwan.

Dear Mr. Lazar:

     In your letter dated May 6, 1991, on behalf of Interpur, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, item #LB-4582A/B, is a set of two
travel cosmetic bags constructed of 65% polyester/35% cotton
textile materials.  The largest bag measures approximately 10" x
7" x 2".  It features two self fabric carrying handles and closes
by means of a top textile zipper closure.  The smaller bag, that
fits into the larger one measures approximately 7 1/2" x 5" x 1"
and closes by means of a top textile zipper closure.  Both bags
are lined with PVC.  You have indicated that the identical small
bag fits into, and is sold with the larger bag as a set to the
retail customer.   

     The applicable subheading for item #LB-4582A/B, the cosmetic
bags as a set of textile man-made materials, will be
4202.92.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with
outer surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers,
other.  The duty rate will be 20 percent ad valorem.   

     Items 4202.92.3030 falls within textile category designation
670.  Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Taiwan 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
