Dear Mr. Crain:
In your letter dated January 11, 1991, you requested a

Corporation.
The applicable HTS subheading for Liponox NCF, Liponox NCG,
Liponox NCI, Liponox NCL and Liponox NCO will be 3402.13.1000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for organic surface-active agents (other than soap);
surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including
auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations,
whether or not containing soap, other than those of heading
3401: organic surface-active agents, whether or not put up for
retail sale: nonionic: aromatic or modified aromatic. The duty
rate will be 7.3 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

to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
