RE: The tariff classification of Asahi Sulphaurgen from Japan.
Dear Mr. Eis:
In your letter dated April 23, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Asahi Sulphaurgen, a chemical
mixture used as a reducing agent for sulphur dyes, will be
3809.91.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for finishing agents, dye carriers to
accelerate the dyeing or fixing of dyestuffs and other products and
preparations of a kind used in the textile industry. The rate of
duty will be 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 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
