RE: The tariff classification of crude copper phthalocyanine
blue from The Peoples Republic of China.
Dear Ms. Lee:
In your letter dated February 2, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for crude copper phthalocyanine
blue (CAS# 147-14-8) will be 3204.17.2000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for copper
phthalocyanine ([Phthalocyanato(2-)]copper), not ready for use as
a pigment. The rate of duty will be 17.5 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,
Jean F. Maguire
