Sulfonate from Mexico and Colombia.
Dear Mr. Givens:
In your letter dated August 21, 1995, on behalf of your client
Plastichem, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the Linear Alkyl Benzene Sodium
Sulfonate will be 3402.11.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for aromatic or modified
aromatic: Linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid and linear
alkylbenzene sulfonates. The rate of duty will be 7.1 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,
