The sample submitted is not identified by style number. The item is a drawstring toiletry bag (cylindrical shape) manufactured of clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheeting. The bag is approximately 6” high with a 3” diameter base. It has a cord drawstring with cord lock closure. The PVC sheeting is of 5.5 mil thickness. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem. Your reference to the country of origin noted. Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended provides that, unless excepted, every article of foreign origin imported into the United States shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently, as the nature of the article will permit, in such a manner as to indicate to the ultimate purchaser in the United States the English name of the country of origin of the article. We suggest that each bag be marked with a sewn-in fabric label, which reads “Made in China” in a conspicuous location.
