Box 305 Catano, PR 00963-0305 RE: The tariff classification of infant care items from Thailand. Dear Mr. Colon: In your letter dated December 30, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample of infant care products is identified as item #200. The set consists of two 8 ounce plastic baby bottles, a plastic feeding bowl with lid, a plastic rattle and plastic keys in a plastic clamshell. These items are packaged together in an infant’s tote bag. The tote bag is composed of plastic with printed designs. A portion of the front panel is made of clear plastic. The infant’s tote bag contains a 16 inch zipper closure and it has two webbed carry handles. Since the components of the set carry out different activities to meet various needs, they do not satisfy the requirements for classification as a set. The tote bag is of a class or kind that not only can be used for transporting infant care items, but may be used to carry other articles also. Each item including the tote bag is classified separately. The applicable subheading for the plastic feeding bowl with lid, will be 3924.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for...other household articles...of plastics.
