RE: The tariff classification of 2-acetoxyisobutyryl bromide
(CAS # 40635- 67-4) from England.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated August 9, 1991, you requested a
clarification of Tariff Classification Ruling #824923. In that
ruling this office classified the product described above, in HTS
subheading 2918.19.5000. HTS subheading 2918.19.5000 was split
into subheadings 2918.19.6000 and 2918.19.9000. Further we have
corrected the CAS no. The CAS no indicated in your letter refers
to acetoxyisobutyryl chloride.
The applicable subheading for acetoxyisobutyryl bromide (CAS
# 40635-67-4) will be 2918.19.9000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for derivatives of non
aromatic carboxylic acids. The rate of duty will be 4 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
