Dear Mr. Kestly:

In your letter dated February 9, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

A filler of foam and paperboard are sandwiched between the front and back cover of each article. Each is trimmed with polyurethane plastic. The portfolio, in its open position, features three full-width pockets on the left side. One pocket has gussets (allowing for some expansion). Another full-width pocket is flat, is in front of the gusseted pocket and contains on the outside ten open pockets. The third full-width pocket is underneath the gusseted pocket. The right side contains a vertical open pocket with an open horizontal pocket for a note pad. Attached to the right side is a textile fabric loop. The portfolio measures approximately 13-1/4” x 11”. It is secured by means of a zipper closure on three sides.

The junior pad holder in its open position features on the left side a curved vertical open pocket with an open pocket attached on the outside.
