cyclopropane carboxylic acid, (3-phenoxyphenyl) methyl ester

the United States (HTS), which provides for cyclanic, cyclenic
or cycloterpenic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides,

rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of
Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the
entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy,
this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs
