RE: The tariff classification of Disflamoll TP KA 9165 and
Disflamoll TP KA 9166 from Germany
Dear Ms. Cicco:
In your letter dated February 7, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Disflamoll TP KA 9165, also known as 1,3-
Phenylenetetraphenyl Phosphate (CAS # 57583-54-7), is an aromatic
ester of phosphoric acid used as a flame retardant for
thermoplastics. Disflamoll TP KA 9166, composed of 70% 1,3-
Phenylenetetraphenyl Phosphate and 30% Triphenyl Phosphate, is a
mixture consisting wholly of aromatic compounds also used as a
flame retardant for thermoplastics.
The applicable subheading for Disflamoll TP KA 9165 will be
2919.00.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other aromatic phosphoric esters and
their salts, including lactophosphates; their halogenated,
sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. The rate of duty
will be 7.1 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for Disflamoll TP KA 9166 will be
3923.90.2800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other mixtures containing 5 percent or
more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic
substances. The rate of duty will be 3.3 cents per kilogram plus
12.9 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
