RE: The tariff classification of Interlite MP-11525/2 from
England.
Dear Mr. Casey:
In your letter dated May 15, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling for Interlite MP-11525/2. This product, in
the form of white pellets, is a mixture of the zinc and calcium
salts of fatty acids. You have stated that this product is to be
used as a heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride plastics.
The applicable subheading will be 3812.30.9000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
prepared rubber accelerators; compound plasticizers for rubber or
plastics, not elsewhere specified or included; antioxidizing
preparations and other compound stabilizers for rubber or
plastics: other. 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,
