RE: The tariff classification of dried, culled beans from Canada
Dear Ms. Clune:
In your letter dated February 13, 1995, on behalf of
Lackawanna Products Corporation, Clarence, NY, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is described as dried, broken, and
discolored mixed beans, which are unsuitable for human
consumption. The majority of the beans are said to be kidney
beans. The merchandise will be used in the preparation of animal
feeds.
The applicable subheading for the dried, culled beans, when
entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August
31, inclusive, will be 0713.33.2090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for dried leguminous
vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split...beans
(Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.)...kidney beans, including white pea
beans...other...other. The rate of duty will be 2 cents per
kilogram. If entered for consumption outside this period, or if
withdrawn for consumption at any time, the applicable subheading
will be 0713.33.4090, HTS. The rate of duty will be 3 cents per
kilogram.
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
