RE: The tariff classification of Dioxy R Salt, which is 2,3-
dihydroxy- naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid sodium salt (CAS#
135-53-5) from China.
Dear Ms. Dominguez:
In your letter dated January 11, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for Dioxy R Salt will be
2908.20.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated
or nitrosated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols:
derivatives containing only sulfo groups and their salts and
esters. The rate of duty will be 1.5 cents per kilogram plus
19.4 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
