RE: The tariff classification of 2-naphthalene sulfonic acid
sodium salt (CAS# 532-02-5) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated May 6, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 2-naphthalene sulfonic acid
sodium salt will be 2904.10.3700, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic sulfonated,
nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons. The rate of
duty will be 3.7 cents per kilogram plus 15.9 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
