RE: The tariff classification of the Bison Moisture Absorber
from The Netherlands.
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letter dated January 29, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client, E. T. Horn
International.
According to your letter, this product is made up off a
simple plastic container which holds approximately one half
kilogram of calcium chloride. It is designed to be used as an
absorbent, in places where dampness may occurs.
The applicable subheading for the product described above
will be 2827.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for calcium chloride. This
subheading is duty free.
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
Area Director
