impregnated with alcohol, surface active agent, fragrance and
preservative. The applicable HTS subheading for Soliben Wipes
will be 3401.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for soap and organic surface-active
products and preparations, in the form of bars, cakes, molded
pieces or shape, and paper, wadding, felt and nonwovens,

The duty rate will be 0.9 cents per kilo plus 2.9 percent ad

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
