RE: The tariff classification of Hershey's Kisses extra creamy
milk chocolate candy from Canada
Dear Ms. O'Donnell:
In your letter dated April 28, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample merchandise submitted consisted of Hershey's
Kisses extra creamy chocolate candies, individually wrapped and
in a retail package, ready for consumption. They are stated to
contain: sugar, milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, soya lecithin, and
vanillin. You indicate that they will be imported in 50 pound
containers from Canada.
The applicable tariff provision for the Hershey's Kisses
extra creamy milk chocolate candy will be 1806.90.9000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated
(HTSUSA), which provides for chocolate and other food
preparations containing cocoa: other...other...other...other...
other. The general rate of duty will be 6.8 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
