Dear Mr. Corboy:

In your letter dated November 28, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling for tetraethylthiuramide sulfide (Chemical Name - tetraethylthioperoxydicarbonic diamide) which is used as an alcohol deterrent drug.

The applicable subheading will be 2930.90.5035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for organo-sulfur compounds: other. The rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem. 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,

Jean F. Maguire
