RE: The tariff classification of Methylene Chloride (CAS 75-09-2) from

Dear Ms. Kuo:
In your letter dated June 2, 1998 you requested a tariff classification
ruling for Methylene Chloride.
The applicable subheading will be 2903.12.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for halogenated derivatives of
hydrocarbons: saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons. The
rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2903.12.0000, HTS, which are the
products of Russia, are entitled to duty free treatment under the Generalized

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
