RE: The tariff classification of supercalendered translucent
paper from France.
Dear Ms. Spano:
In your letter dated June 4, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Samples of two grades of supercalendered paper were
submitted and will be retained for reference. Both are
translucent and have a glazed appearance; the grade identified as
"Packpain" is white, while "Packpain Pastel" is yellow. Our
laboratory finds that both are composed of 100% chemical kraft
pulp fibers and are not coated or impregnated. Specification
sheets accompanying your inquiry indicate that these papers are
intended to be used in packaging applications, and that they will
be imported in rolls exceeding 15 cm in width.
The applicable subheading for the "Packpain" and "Packpain
Pastel" papers will be 4806.40.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for glassine and other
glazed transparent or translucent papers. The rate of duty will
be free.
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
