RE: The tariff classification of Micro Sugar from Germany
Dear Ms. Hediger:
In your letter dated July 14, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
According to your letter, Micro Sugar is a mixture of
glycopyranosylsorbit (GPS), glycopyranosylmannit (GPM) and small
quantities of their derivatives. You also stated in your letter
that this product will be used in the pastry industry.
The applicable subheading for the product described above
will be 3823.90.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other mixtures not elsewhere
specified. 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
