RE: The tariff classification of Citric acid from Germany
Dear Mr. Alberdi:
In your letter dated August 1, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of
your client Olaf Reuter.

Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for carboxylic acids with alcohol function
but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their
derivatives: citric acid. The rate of duty will be 6 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19
C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the
entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
