RE: The tariff classification of snack mixes from The United
Kingdom
Dear Mr. Cherry:
In your letter dated December 11, 1991, on behalf of Bonanza
International, Inc., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
Ingredients breakdowns and samples of two products accompanied
your letter. The samples were examined and disposed of.
Vindaloo Mix and Bombay Mix are described as snack foods
consisting of a variety of ingredients that have been fried
separately in vegetable oil, mixed together, and seasoned.
Vindaloo Mix contains gram flour noodles, yellow split peas,
peanuts, lentils, raisins, sunflower seeds, flavoring, and salt.
Bombay Mix is a mixture of gram flour noodles, yellow split peas,
sunflower seeds, flavoring, puffed rice, and salt. Both mixes
will be imported in bulk containers, and will be sold in the bulk
form or repackaged.
The applicable subheading for the Vindaloo Mix and Bombay Mix
will be 2106.90.6099, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere
specified or included...other...other...other. The rate of duty
will be 10 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
