RE: The tariff classification of sodium aluminum phosphate from
West Germany.
Dear Mr. Silberger:
In your letter dated January 10, 1990, you requested a
review of a previously issued tariff classification ruling.
Your request indicating that sodium aluminum phosphate is
more accurately classifiable in suheading 2835.29.1000 HTS has
been considered. We disagree because this subheading provides for
single cation compounds. The product you have requested a ruling
on is a double cation compound.
The correct subheading for sodium aluminum phosphate will be
2842.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for double salt. The rate of duty will be
3.3 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
