RE: The tariff classification of Pitch Coke from Japan.
Dear Mr. Spraitzar:
In your letter dated March 21, 1997, on behalf of your client
SGL Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling for
pitch coke which you have stated will be used in the manufacture
of carbon blocks.
The applicable subheading will be 2708.20.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
pitch and pitch coke, obtained from coal tar or from other mineral
tars. This provision is free of duty.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Thomas Brady at 212-466-5747.
Sincerely,
