of the United States (HTS), for the listed product are as follows:

Under the United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement, merchandise

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.
