RE: The tariff classification of fruit juices from Israel.
Dear Mr. Ariely:
In your letter dated January 27, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The subject merchandise consists of the following blends of
fruit juices: 90 percent orange/10 percent mandarin, 70 percent
orange/30 percent mandarin, 90 percent orange/10 percent peach,
70 percent orange/ 30 percent peach, and 80 percent orange/20
percent passion fruit.
The applicable subheading for the fruit juice blends will be
2009.90.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for fruit juices...unfermented and not
containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or
other sweetening matter...mixtures of juices: other. The duty
rate will be 9.25 cents per liter
Articles classifiable under subheading 2009.90.4000, HTS,
which are products of Israel are entitled to duty free treatment
under the United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement upon
compliance with all applicable regulations.
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,
