round metal container. The approximate chemical composition of the fuel is
as follows:
Ethyl Alcohol -------------------------- 70 to 80 percent

The applicable subheading for the solid cooking fuel tablet will be

provides for ...articles of combustible materials ... other. The rate of
duty will be 5 percent.
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.
