Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated December 3, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the Arachidonic Acid (CAS #
506-32-1) will be 2916.19.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other unsaturated acyclic
monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides,
peroxyacids and their derivatives. The rate of duty will be 2.4
cents per kilo plus 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
