Dear Mr. Williamson:
In your letter dated January 28, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Descriptive information was included with your request.
The subject merchandise consists of peanut and honey bars, chewy
sesame bars, macadamia and honey bars, hazelnut and honey bars,
and almond and honey bars. In addition to honey, all of the
products contain sugar and glucose. All of the items are
packaged for retail sale.
The applicable subheading for the nut bars will be

(HTS), which provides for sugar confectionery...not containing
cocoa...other: confections or sweetmeats ready for

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
