RE: The tariff classification of antimony trioxide and potassium
permanganate from China.
Dear Mr. Kahen:
In your letter dated March 27, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for antimony trioxide will be
2825.80.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for antimony oxides. This subheading is
duty free.
The applicable subheading for potassium permanganate will be
2841.60.0010 (HTS). The duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
Your letter indicated that you would like specific
information concerning any anti-dumping duties which may apply to
the above products. It is our understanding that as of 4/10/92
there is no dumping duties applicable to antimony trioxide from
China. There is dumping duties on potassium permanganate of as
little as 39.63 percent ad valorem or as high as 128.94 percent
ad valorem depending on which company you purchase from. These
duties are in addition to any other duties and are collectable at
the time of entry and are held until a final review has been
made. Please note that these duties may be revised upwards or
downwards depending on a review presently being conducted by the
International Trade Administration.
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
