RE: The tariff classification of o-Aminophenol, CAS 95-55-6 from France

Dear Mr. Meola:

In your letter dated August 10, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for o-Aminophenol, also known as 2-Aminophenol, CAS 95-55-6, will be 2922.29.1300, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for o-Aminophenol. The rate will be 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,
