RE: The tariff classification of sodium xylene sulfonate (CAS#
1300-72-7) from Turkey.
Dear Ms. Hardesty:
In your letter dated March 17, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for sodium xylene sulfonate will
be 2904.10.3200, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other aromatic sulfonated, nitrated or
nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not
halogenated: products described in additional U.S. note 3 to
section VI. The rate of duty will be 13.5 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 2904.10.3200, HTS, are
not entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized System
of Preferences.
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
