RE: The tariff classification of a "gift set" consisting of a diary, a
photo album and a tote bag, from China.

Dear Ms. Diaz:

In your letter dated August 29, 2006, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Enchante Accessories, Inc.

A sample labeled as a style JCG-760 "gift set" was submitted for our
examination and is being returned to you as requested. It consists of a
textile fabric bag containing a journal (diary) and a photo album. The
bag, which measures approximately 4" x 10" x 8"(H), is a shopping style
tote bag of man-made (polyester) fibers. The journal is a cloth-covered,
hardbound diary containing numerous blank, ruled paper pages measuring
approximately 5" x 7". The photo album consists of numerous
plastic-pocket pages permanently bound between cloth-covered
wood-fiberboard covers. It is designed to hold 200 4" x 6" photos.

Since the three items serve different needs or activities, they will not
be regarded for tariff purposes as "goods put up in sets for retail
sale," and will therefore be classified separately.

The applicable subheading for the journal will be 4820.10.2010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides
for diaries and address books, bound, of paper or paperboard. The rate
of duty will be Free.

The applicable subheading for the photo album will be 3924.90.5500,
HTSUS, which provides for other household articles and toilet articles,
of plastics. The rate of duty will be 3.4%.

The applicable subheading for the tote bag will be 4202.92.3031, HTSUS,
which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface
of textile materials, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be
17.6%.

The tote bag falls within textile category 670. With the exception of
certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer
applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade
Organization (WTO) member countries. The textile category number above
applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries. Quota and
visa requirements are the result of international agreements that are
subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most
current information on quota and visa requirements applicable to this
merchandise, we suggest you check, close to the time of shipment, the
"Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas" which is available on our
web site at www.cbp.gov. For current information regarding possible
textile safeguard actions on goods from China and related issues, we
refer you to the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel of the
Department of Commerce at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
