RE: The tariff classification of Cajetin brand candy from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Longoria:
In your letter dated May 11, 1993, on behalf of Productos de
Leche Coronada, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Samples were included with your request. The subject
merchandise is described as "Cajetin Soft Cajeta Candy" and is
stated to contain 58.9 percent glucose, 26.0 percent goat's milk,
15.0 percent sugar and 0.1 percent potassium sorbate. The product
will be packaged in 0.26 ounce plastic envelopes.
The applicable subheading for the Cajetin brand candy packaged
in 0.26 ounce plastic envelopes will be 1704.90.2005, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
sugar confectionery...not containing cocoa...other: confections
or sweetmeats ready for consumption...other...put up for retail
sale. The duty rate will be 7 percent ad valorem.
Currently there are no quota restrictions on the importation
of this merchandise.
Articles classifiable under subheading 1704.90.2005, HTS,
which are products of Mexico are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
