Dear Mr. Shin:
In your letter dated January 22, 1992, you requested a

According to your letter PVC Stabilizer is composed of lead
sulfate tribasic, barium stearate and dioctyl phthalate.
The applicable subheading for lead sulfate tribasic will be
2833.29.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other sulfates. The rate of duty will
be 3.7 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for PVC Stabilizer will be
3812.20.1000, HTS, which provides for stabilizers containing
aromatic plasticizers. The rate of dutry will be 0.2 cents per
kilogram plus 17.7 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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
