RE: The tariff classification of Brightener 140 from India and
England.
Dear Mr. Sherwin:
In your letter dated December 15, 1992, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Brightener 140, which is 7-
diethylamino-4-methyl-2H-benzopyran-2-one (CAS# 91-44-1) will be
3204.20.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other synthetic organic products of a
kind used as fluorescent brightening agents. The rate of duty
will be 8.1 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 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
