RE: The tariff classification of magnesium powder from China.
Dear Mr. Campbell:
In your letter dated September 8, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
You have described your product as magnesium powder in both 99.0% and 99.8% purity.

The duty rate will be 4.4% ad valorem.
Pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from the People’s Republic of China is covered by antidumping case number A-570-832. However, magnesium in powder form is said to be excluded from the case.
