RE: The tariff classification of desoxyanisoin (CAS# 120-44-5) from Japan.

Dear Mr. Corboy:

In your letter dated September 30, 1992, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for the desoxyanisoin will be 2914.50.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Ketone-phenols and ketones with other oxygen function, aromatic. The duty rate will be 11 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,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
