RE: The tariff classification of 2-Amino-4-Methylthiazole (CAS No. 1603-91-4) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated December 15, 1994, you requested a
tariff classification ruling for 2-amino-4-methylthiazole which
is used for research and development and as an antihyperthyroid
drug.
The applicable subheading will be 2934.10.9000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other heterocyclic compounds: compounds containing an unfused
thiazole ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure:
other. The rate of duty will be 7.6 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
