RE: The tariff classification of 2,2'-[[4-[(4- aminophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]bis-ethanol (CAS # 20721-50-0) from Japan

Dear Ms. MacDonald:

In your letter dated January 31, 1995 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for 2,2'-[[4-[(4- aminophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]bis-ethanol (CAS # 20721-50-0) will be 2927.00.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other diazo-, azo- or azoxy-compounds. The rate of duty will be 18.6 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
