RE: The tariff classification of Yttrium Oxide 99.99 Lumifore
Dope F from France.
Dear Mr. Meola:
In your letter dated April 6, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
According to your inquiry, this product is composed of 99.99
percent yttrium oxide and 20 ppm terbium oxide. You further state
that it is your belief that the product is classifiable in
subheading 2846.90.2010. We agree.
The applicable subheading for the product described above
will be 2846.90.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for rare earth oxide mixtures. This
provision 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
