RE: The tariff classification of succinic anhydride (CAS #108-
30-5) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated August 10. 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for succinic anhydride when
produced from maleic anhydride or cylclohexanone, will be
2917.19.2700, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for derivatives of maleic acid. The rate of
duty will be 3.7 cents per kilogram plus 16.8 percent ad
valorem.
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
