RE: The tariff classification of C-14 labeled cysteine from
Japan
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated March 9, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable HTS subheading for C-14 labeled cysteine
(whose carbon 12 atoms have been replaced with radioactive
carbon-14 atoms) will be 2844.40.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for radioactive
elements and isotopes and compounds other than those of
subheadings 2844.10, 2844.20, and 2844.30; alloys, dispersions
(including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing
these elements, isotopes or compounds; radioactive residues. The
rate will be duty free.
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
