RE: The tariff classification of Aerofloat 238 from Mexico.

Dear Mrs. Davidovich:

In your letter dated June 11, 1992, you requested a review of New York Ruling 863687.

In that ruling Aerofloat 238 was classified in 2930.90.5050. This was an inadvertance based on the mistaken belief that Aerofloat 238 was composed of phosphorodithioic acid, bis(1- methylpropyl) ester, sodium salt with the CAS number 52797-94-1. It is in fact composed of a different compound.

The applicable subheading for Aerofloat 238 will be 2920.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for non aromatic thiophosphoric esters. The duty rate will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.

Articles classifiable under subheading 2920.10.5000, HTS, which are products of Mexico, are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) 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,

Jean F. Maguire
