RE: The tariff classification of sodium carbonate from Poland,
Rumania or Bulgaria.
Dear Mr. Pratt:
In your letter dated September 25, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for sodium carbonate will be
2836.20.000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for carbonates.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2836.20.0000, HTS,
which are products of Poland are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
Chemical compounds classifiable in subheading 2836.20.0000
HTS which are products of Rumania or Bulgaria are dutiable at the
rate of 8.5 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
