RE: The tariff classification of Furfural (CAS 98-01-1) from
China.
Dear Mr. Lee:
In your letter dated July 31, 1995 you requested a tariff
classification ruling for furfural.
The applicable subheading will be 2932.12.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only:
compounds containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not
hydrogenated) in the structure. This provision is duty 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
Area Director
