RE: The tariff classification of Evian spring water from France.
Dear Mr. Liberati:
In your letter dated December 3, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
A sample was submitted with your initial request dated
October 8, 1990. The subject merchandise is described as a non-
carbonated pure spring water, which contains the following
minerals: bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium, silica, sulphates,
sodium, nitrates, chlorides, and potassium.
The applicable subheading for the Evian spring water will be
2201.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for mineral waters and aerated waters. The
rate of duty will be 0.4 cents per liter.
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
