Dear Mr. Ingraham:
In your letter dated June 27, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Aluminum benzoate, also known
as benzoic acid aluminum salt, CAS 555-32-8, will be
2916.31.1590, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for benzoic acid, its salts and esters.
The rate of duty will be 7.8 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
