RE: The tariff classification of Chelal Fe from Belgium.

Dear Mr. Rubin:

In your letter dated September 24, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample, Chelal Fe, is composed of an aqueous solution of either [N,N-Bis[2-[Bis(carboxymethyl] amino] ethyl] glycinato(5)]-ferrate(2-) sodium hydrogen or [N,N-Bis[2-[Bis (carboxymethyl) amino] ethyl] glycinato (5)-ferrate (2-) diammonium. This product is used as a fertilizer and will be imported and sold in 5.25 quarts, 50 gallon and 200 gallon containers.

The applicable subheading for Chelal Fe whether made from either one, but not a mixture of both, of the above mentioned chemicals will be 2942.00.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for other organic compounds: Other. The rate of duty will be 3.7 percent ad valoerm. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist V. Gaulario at 212-466-5744.
