RE: The tariff classification of Ultra Downy, a fabric softener
from Mexico.
Dear Mr. Gonzales:
In your letter dated October 6, 1993, and written on behalf of
your
client, Procter & Gamble de Mexico, you requested a tariff classification
ruling for Ultra Downy. Ultra Downy is a fabric softener containing fabric
softening agents, perfume, a colorant and quality control agents
The applicable subheading for Ultra Downy, whether imported in bulk or
packaged for retail, will be 3809.91.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for finishing agents, dye carriers
to accelerate the dyeing or fixing of dyestuffs and other products and
preparations (for example, dressings and mordants), of a kind used in the
textile, paper, leather or like industries, not elsewhere specified:
other: of a kind used in the textile or like industries. The rate of duty
will be 6 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
