RE: The tariff classification of mischmetal from China.
Dear Mr. Wolfe:
In your letter dated November 25, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Mischmetal is a commercial form of mixed rare earth metals,
usually 95% pure concentrated by electrolysis.
The applicable subheading for mischmetal will be
2805.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for intermixed or interalloyed rare earth
metals. The rate of duty will be 70.5 cents per kilogram.
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
