RE: The tariff classification of "Packraft" paper from France.
Dear Mr. McLaughlin:
In your letter dated November 6, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise in question is "Packraft Non Opaque B 40g"
paper, samples of which were submitted and subsequently analyzed
by our laboratory. The lab finds the samples to be sheets of
uncoated white paper composed of chemical bleached kraft pulp
fibers and weighing 33.4 grams per square meter.
From information accompanying your letter, we understand
that this product will be imported in rolls exceeding 15 cm in
width, and will be used in flexible packaging applications.
The applicable subheading for the "Packraft Non Opaque B
40g" paper will be 4804.39.40, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for uncoated bleached kraft
wrapping paper weighing 150 gsm or less. 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
Area Director
