RE: The tariff classification of Compounded Rubber from Korea
Dear Mr. Smithweiss:
In your letter dated October 7, 1994 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client Etonic, Inc.
A sample of compounded rubber was submitted with your
inquiry. This product is compounded unvulcanized rubber in
sheets.
The applicable subheading for compounded rubber will be
4005.91.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for compounded rubber, unvulcanized, in
primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip. The rate of duty
will be free.
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
