RE: The tariff classification of "Alipack" paper from France.
Dear Mr. McLaughlin:
In your letter dated April 20, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Samples and technical data sheets were submitted for 60 and
70 gsm weights of a paper known as "Alipack," which is said to be
a "greaseproof, multi-wall bag liner grade." The paper will be
imported in rolls exceeding 15 cm in width.
Our laboratory, which has analyzed the samples, reports that
both weights (found to be 60.1 and 72.0 gsm, respectively) are
sheets of white greaseproof paper composed of 100% chemical kraft
bleached pulp fibers. The papers are not coated and have an ash
content of less than 1%.
The applicable subheading for the "Alipack" 60g and 70g
papers will be 4806.20.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for greaseproof papers. The
rate of duty will be 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
