surfaces for water-proofing and sealing.
Ishi-clean Super SP, Sabitore-Hanako and Bunsan-Taro are
chemical mixtures which are applied to concrete, cement and stone
to cleanse the surface.
Ishinol Stone Power is a chemical mixture which strengthens
and solidifies weathered concrete.
The applicable Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), subheadings and rates of duty for these products
will be as follows:
