RE: The tariff classification of catalysts NS-733D (D) and
NS733D (DF) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Deahl:
In your letter dated February 13, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
According to your letter, these catalysts are imported as
powders composed of various metallic oxides and are to be used in
the manufacture of acrylonitrile.
The applicable subheading for both products will be
3815.90.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for unsupported catalysts of inorganic
compounds. 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
