RE: The tariff classification of dried peas from The United
Kingdom
Dear Mr. Sarant:
In your undated letter, received by this office on January
24, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The merchandise is described as whole, dehydrated garden
peas, with or without added sulphur dioxide. The peas will be
imported in 30 to 50-pound plastic-lined bags or cartons, and
used by the food service and food manufacturing industry.
The applicable subheading for the dried peas will be
0713.10.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for dried leguminous vegetables, shelled,
whether or not skinned or split...peas (Pisum sativum)...seeds of
a kind used for sowing. The rate of duty will be 3 cents per
kilogram.
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
