RE: The tariff classification of T-77, a charge controlling
agent from Japan.
Dear Mr. Powell:
In your letter dated March 12, 1990, written on behalf of
your client, Hodogaya Chemical (U.S.A.), you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
T-77 is bis[4[(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)azo]-3-hydroxy-N-
phenyl-2-naphthalene carboxamidato (2-)]-ferrate (1-), ammonium,
sodium and hydrogen (CAS# 104815-18-1). Your letter states that
the product is a charge controlling agent for use with toners in
plain paper copiers and electrophotographic type printers.
Technical literature submitted with your request states that the
product is a metal complex azo dye
The applicable subheading for T-77 will be 3204.19.1500,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other solvent dyes and preparations based thereon:
products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI. The
rate of duty will be 15 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
