Dear Mr. Halaburda:
In your letter dated October 6, 1998, on behalf of your
client Robertet Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.

of the United States (HTS), which provides for Saturated acyclic
monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and
peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or
nitrosated derivatives: Esters of acetic acid: Other: Other:
Odoriferous or flavoring compounds: Other..... Other..... The
rate of duty will be 4.8 percent ad valorem.

isovaleric acid used as an odoriferous compound. The applicable
subheading for cis-3-Hexenyl isovalerate, also known as 3-Methylbutanoic acid, (z)-3-hexenyl ester, will be 2915.60.5000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their
anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their
