RE: The tariff classification of Dithiosalicylic Acid from the United Kingdom.

Dear Ms. Rathle:

In your letter dated October 13, 1994 you requested a tariff classification ruling for Dithiosalicylic Acid (CAS 119-80-2) chemical name - 2,2'-Dithiobisbenzoic, which is a chemical intermediate.

The applicable subheading will be 2930.90.2800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for organo-sulfur compounds: other. The rate of duty will be 6.7 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 officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,


Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
