RE: The tariff classification of 3-methoxy phenethyl alcohol
(CAS # 5020-41-7)
from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated May 30, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the 3-methoxy phenethyl
alcohol (CAS # 5020-41-7) will be 2909.49.1000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for aromatic
ether alcohols. The rate of duty will be 13.5 percent ad
valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2915.40.1000, HTS,
which are products of India are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
