RE: The tariff classification of "Wet Strength Linerboard" from
Canada.
Dear Mr. Nicholls:
In your letter dated April 23, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Specifications and samples of uncoated, unbleached kraft
paperboard known as "Wet Strength Linerboard" (205 and 254 gsm)
were submitted and have been analyzed by the New York Customs
Laboratory. The lab finds that the samples meet the definition
of "kraftliner" set forth in Subheading Note 1, Chapter 48 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). You
indicate that the product, also known in the trade as "Agriboard"
or "Hydrotex," will be imported in rolls exceeding 15 cm in
width.
The applicable subheading for the "Wet Strength Linerboard"
(205 and 254 gsm) will be 4804.11.0000, HTS, which provides for
unbleached kraftliner. 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
