RE: The tariff classification of iron carbide from The Republic
of Trinidad and Tobago.
Dear Mr. Pritchard:
In your letter dated November 12, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the product described above
will be 2849.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other carbides. The duty rate
will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2849.90.5000, HTS,
which are products of The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, 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
