RE: The tariff classification of methoxy-morphinan (CAS# 124431- 37-6) from India.

Dear Mr. Maher:

In your letter dated August 18, 1993, and written on behalf of your client, Reddy-Cheminor Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. The applicable subheading for methoxy-morphinan will be 2933.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only: 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
