Mineral Springs Deodorant Mist and Ener-Lin Milled Flax Seed
from Canada
Dear Mr. Rogers:
In your letter dated September 5, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Valbren
Health Distributors Inc.
The crystal deodorant stone is made from potassium sulphate
and mineral salts. The body deodorant is applied on wet skin or
by wetting the stone.
The Mineral Springs Deodorant Mist, in a plastic squeeze
bottle, is composed of a blend of mineral salts. It is sprayed on
the body for use as a personal body deodorant.
The applicable HTS subheading for the Crystal Deodorant
Stone and the Mineral Springs Deodorant Mist will be 3307.20.000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for personal deodorants and antiperspirants. The duty
rate will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 3307.20.0000, HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a
3.4 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all
applicable regulations.
The Ener-Lin Specially Milled Flax Seed is a health food product.
sold in two vacuum sealed packages.
The applicable HTS subheading for the Ener-Lin Specially MIlled
Flax Seed will be 1204.00.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for flaxseed (linseed), whether or
not broken other. The duty rate will be 0.86 cents per kilo.
Goods classifiable under subheading 1204.00.0090, HTS, which have
originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 0.3 cents
per kilo rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free Trade
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

attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
