The applicable HTS subheading for 3-Aminophenol (CAS # 591-
27-5) will be 2922.29.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for oxygen-function amino-
compounds: amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols, their ethers
and esters, other than those containing more than one kind of

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
