RE: The tariff classification of 2,6-diaminopurine from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated September 12, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 2,6-diaminopurine (CAS# 1904-
98-9) will be 2933.59.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other heterocyclic
compounds containing a pyrimidine ring or piperazine ring in the

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,
