RE: The tariff classification of Empicol EAA70 from England
Dear Ms, Wolff:
In your letter dated March 20, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable HTS subheading for Empicol EAA70, an anionic
surfactant used in hair shampoos will be 3402.11.5020, 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 340l: organic
surface-active agents, whether or not put up for retail sale:
anionic: other; salts of sulfated polyethers. The duty rate will
be 3.7 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
