RE: The tariff classification of Hudson's Glucose from Malaysia.
Dear Mr. DeCastro:
In your letter dated May 8, 1992, on behalf of Tai Wing Hong
Importer Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
A sample was included with your request. The subject
merchandise is stated to contain 98.47 percent glucose (dextrose
monohydrate), 1.52 percent calcium glycerophosphate and the
balance is vitamin D. The product will be imported in a metal
container with a net weight of 500 grams.
The applicable subheading for the Hudson's Glucose will be
1702.30.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for glucose and glucose syrup, not
containing fructose or containing in the dry state less than 20
percent by weight of fructose...other. The duty rate will be 3.5
cents per kilogram.
Articles classifiable under subheading 1702.30.4000, HTS,
which are products of Malaysia are entitled to duty free
treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) 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
Area Director
