RE: The tariff classification of RCO QUICK BASE 697 (metal and
plastic surface cleaner) from Japan.
Dear Mr. Kao:
In your letter dated May 5, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The prospective import, RCO QUICK BASE 697, is made up of
surface active agents, anticorrosive material, silicate abrasive,
dye, and water. RCO QUICK BASE 697 is used for auto body
refinishing.
The applicable subheading for the RCO QUICK BASE 697 will be
3405.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for polishes, scouring pastes and powders and
similar preparations. The rate of duty will be 2.5 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
