RE: The tariff classification of potassium nitrate from Chile
which according to your letter will be used in metal treatment.
Dear Mr. Pratt:
In your letter dated March 7, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for potassium nitrate will be
2834.21.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for potassium nitrate. 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
