RE: The tariff classification of salads from Canada.
Dear Mr. Deringer:
In your letters dated February 17, 1995 and April 10, 1995
you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Ingredients breakdowns accompanied your second letter. The
macaroni salad consists of cooked macaroni, rehydrated green
peppers, red peppers and minced onions, relish and salt blended
together with a salad dressing.
The applicable subheading for the macaroni salad will be
1902.30.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for pasta...whether or not cooked or
stuffed...other pasta...other...other. The duty rate will be
9.4% percent ad valorem.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to
give a classification ruling on the vegetable salad, island
creamy coleslaw salad or potato salad Your request for a
classification ruling should include samples of each product for
laboratory analysis.
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
