RE: The tariff classification of benzoic acid from Estonia.
Dear Gruodis:
In your letter dated February 16, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for the product described above will be
2916.31.1005, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for benzoic acid. The duty rate will be 8.1 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2916.31.1005, HTS, which are
products of Estonia, 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
