RE: The tariff classification of 4-nitrophenethyl bromide (CAS# 5339-26-4) from France.

Dear Mr. Corboy:

In your letter dated January 18, 1993, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for 4-nitrophenethyl bromide will be 2904.90.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not halogenated: products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI. The rate of duty will be 13.5 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
