tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 2,6-dichlorotoluene will be 2903.69.6000

other halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons. The rate of duty

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 have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
