RE: The tariff classification of 2-methyl-2-butene from West
Germany.
Dear Mr. Jardak:
In your letter dated September 17, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 2-methyl-2-butene (CAS# 513- 35-9)
when it is derived in whole or in part from petroleum, shale oil or
natural gas will be 2901.29.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other unsaturated acyclic
hydrocarbons. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem. When
this product is not derived in whole or in part from petroleum, shale
oil or natural gas the applicable subheading will be 2901.29.5000 and
rate of duty will be 3.7 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
