RE: The tariff classification of Alumina SPH AB aka Washcoat AB
from France.
Dear Mr. Meola:
In your letter dated February 14, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
According to your letter Alumina SPH AB is impregnated with
various rare earth oxides. It will be used as an activated
support for a catalyst.
The applicable subheading for Alumina SPH AB will be
3823.90.3900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for mixtures of inorganic compounds not
elsewhere provided for. This subheading is 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,
Jean F. Maguire
