RE: The tariff classification of five dye intermediates from India.

Dear Mr. Shah:

In your letter dated March 15, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for vinyl sulfone ester of o- anisidine (CAS# 26672-22-0), vinyl sulfone ester of p-cresidine (CAS# unknown), vinyl sulfone ester of 2,5-dimethoxyaniline (CAS# 26672-24-2) and vinyl sulfone of amino benzene (CAS# 5246-57-1) will be 2930.90.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic organo-sulfur compounds. The rate of duty will be 6.7 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for C acid (CAS# 131-27-1) will be 2921.45.5000, which provides for other aromatic monoamines and their derivatives. The rate of duty will be 2.4 cents per kilogram plus 18.8 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
