RE: The tariff classification of benzoin from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated August 16, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for benzoin (CAS# 119-53-9) will
be 2914.49.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other aromatic ketone-alcohols and
ketone-aldehydes. The rate of duty will be 11 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
