RE: The tariff classification of Oil Clean Momko from Japan
Dear Mr. Kahl:
In your letter dated November 26, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Oil Clean Momko is a cleaner primarily composed of alkyl
benzene sulfonate and nonyl phenol. This product, packaged in
retail size, is designed to clean stone, tile and cement.
The applicable HTS subheading for Oil Clean Momoko will be
3402.20.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for organic surface-active agents (other
than soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations
(including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning
preparations, whether or not containing soap, other than those of
heading 3401: preparations put up for retail sale: containing any
aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agent. The duty
rate will be 6.6 percent ad valorem.
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 255filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If
the documents have already been filed, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
