Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated March 8, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for 1-naphthalene sulfonic acid sodium
salt which you have stated is a chemical intermediate.
The applicable subheading will be 2904.10.3700, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons,
whether or not halogenated: derivatives containing only sulfo
groups, their salts and ethyl esters: other. The rate of duty
will be 3.3 cents per kilogram plus 14.9 percent ad valorem.
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

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
