RE: Modification of New York Ruling Letter (NYRL) 841446;
Diatrizoic acid; C.A.S. #117-96-4
Dear Ms. White:
This is in reference to your letter of May 18, 1989,
requesting the tariff classification under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA), of several
chemicals, one of which was diatrizoic acid. In New York Ruling
Letter (NYRL) 841446, dated June 8, 1989, diatrizoic acid, CAS #
117-96-4, was classified under subheading 2924.29.4000. This
subheading provides for cyclic amides (including carbamates) and
their derivatives; salts thereof: other: aromatic: other: other:
products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI.
Upon further review, it has been determined that diatrizoic
acid, also known as 3,5-diacetamido-2,4-6-triidobenzoic acid, is
provided for under the eo nomine provision of subheading
2924.29.05, HTSUSA, which provides for Carboxyamide-function
compounds: cyclic amides (including carbamates) and their
derivatives; salts thereof: other: aromatic: 3,5-diacetamido-2,4-
6-triidobenzoic acid. The rate of duty is 5.3 percent ad
valorem.
NYRL 841446 is hereby modified accordingly.
Sincerely,
