spray drying whole eggs and vegetable oils. The powder will
consist of 59 percent egg, and 39 percent vegetable oils and
fats, the latter in changing weight proportions. The merchandise
will be packed in 20-kilogram plastic-lined paper sacks.
The applicable subheading for the egg and vegetable oil powder
will be 2106.90.6099, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere
specified or included...other...other...other. The rate of duty
will be 10 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.
