RE:  The tariff classification of a belt pouch from China.

Dear Ms. Cordo:

     In your letter dated July 1, 1991, on behalf of Power Aisle,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.  
     
     The submitted sample, called a "Zipper Pouch", is a belt
pouch designed to be attached on to the belt by means of a dog
leash clasp.  It is constructed of a 100% nylon textile exterior
with a foam interior.  The item measure approximately 5" x 4" x
2", and closes by means of a top textile zippered closure.  It is
designed to contain small miscellaneous items.  The front of the
pouch is printed with the word "Logitech".  Your sample is being
returned as you requested.  

     The applicable subheading for the belt pouch of 100% nylon
textile 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 classifiable under 4202.92.3030 fall within textile
category designation 670.  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,
