RE: The tariff classification of Vat Red 6B (vat red 13 CAS# 4203-77-4) from China.

Dear Mr. Wang:

In your letter dated October 25, 1993, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for Vat Red 6B will be 3204.15.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other vat dyes. The rate of duty will be 20 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
