In your letter dated June 1, 1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for this compound will be

(HTS), which provides for maleic anhydride producted from an
aromatic hydrocarbon. The rate of duty will be 2.2 cents per

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
