If imported separately, the applicable subheading for the SU-3001A polyisocyanate mixture will be 3909.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other amino-resins. The rate of duty is 6.5 percent ad valorem.

If imported separately, the applicable subheading for the SU-3001B polyol mixture will be 3902.90.0050, HTSUS, which provides for polymers of other olefins. The rate of duty is 6.5 percent ad valorem.

If imported together as a unit, the applicable subheading for the SU-3001A polyisocyanate mixture and SU-3001B polyol mixture will be 3909.50.5000, HTSUS, which provides for other polyurethanes. The rate of duty is 6.3 percent ad valorem.
