Dear Mr. Silbiger:

classification ruling.
The applicable subheading and duty under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), for the above listed
compounds will be as follows:
Compound HTS no Duty
monopotassium tartrate 2918.13.2000 4.6 percent ad valorem
dipotassium tartrate 2918.13.5000 4.4 percent ad valorem
Compounds classified in subheading 2918.13.2000 HTS are
temporarily free of duty under subheading 9902.29.1800 HTS
provided all requirements have been met.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
