RE: The tariff classification of Flutec PP25 from England and
Canada.
Dear Mr. Meola:
In your letter dated May 3, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Flutec PP25, which is mixed
isomers of perfluorocyclohexylbicyclodecylmethane (CAS# 125061-
94-1), will be 2903.59.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other halogenated
derivatives of cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic hydrocarbons:
derived in whole or in part from benzene or other aromatic
hydrocarbon: products described in additional U.S. note 3 to
section VI. The rate of duty will be 13.5 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 2903.59.1500 HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to
a 5.4 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-
Canada Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
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
