RE: The tariff classification of Gibberellic Acid (CAS 77-06-5),
Gibberellin A4 (CAS 468-44-0), Benzyl Amino Purine (CAS 1214-39-7),
Falgro 20SP (CAS 77-06-5), and Perlan (CAS 1214-39-7) from the United
Kingdom.
Dear Mr. Young:
In your letter dated November 2, 1998, on behalf of your client Fine
Agrochemicals Limited, you requested a tariff classification ruling for the
above products.
The applicable subheading for Gibberellic Acid and Gibberellin A4,
which are used as plant growth regulators, will be 2932.29.5050, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for heterocyclic
compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only: lactones: other. The rate of
duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for Benzyl Amino Purine, which is also used
as a plant growth regulator, will be 2933.59.1500, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for heterocyclic
compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only: compounds containing a pyrimidine
ring (whether or not hydrogenated) or piperazine ring in the structure:
other: pesticides. The rate of duty will be 10.1 percent ad valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a
classification ruling on Falgro 20SP or Perlan. Your request for a
classification ruling should include the chemical name, CAS #, and the
percent by weight of each inert ingredient. Also submit the EPA labels for
each product and the MSDS sheets and any available product literature.
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.
