RE: The tariff classification of Polymega from West Germany
Dear Mr. Mayhall:
In your letter dated January 4, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
According to your letter, this product is composed of an
assortment of amino acids and residue protein and is used as a
food or nutritional supplement.
The applicable subheading for Polymega will be 3823.90.5050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for chemical mixtures not elsewhere provided for. The
rate of duty will be 5 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
Area Director,
New York Seaport
