29-4) from Italy and/or France
Dear Mr. Kelly:
In your letter dated November 10, 1994 you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Elf Atochem
N.A. Inc.
The applicable subheading for Phenylacetonitrile (CAS # 140-
29-4) also known as Benzylcyanide will be 2926.90.4800,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other aromatic nitrile-function compounds. The rate
of duty will be 20 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
