RE: The tariff classification of garlic powder from China
Dear Mr. Diran:
In your letter dated December 26, 1990, on behalf of Global
Marketing Associates, Inc., San Francisco, California, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
A sample accompanied your letter, was examined and disposed
of. The product is a white powder made from garlic bulbs that
have been peeled, freeze dried, ground, and vacuum packed.
The applicable subheading for the garlic powder will be
0712.90.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced,
broken or in powder...other vegetables...garlic...powder or
flour. The rate of duty will be 35 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
