RE: The tariff classification of mushroom soy sauce from China.

Dear Ms. Wong:

In your letter dated March 10, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The product is mushroom soy sauce in plastic containers holding 5 pounds, net weight, 12 containers to a case.

The applicable subheading for the mushroom soy sauce will be 2103.10.0000, HTS, which provides for sauces and preparations therefor...soy sauce. The rate of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.

Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a classification ruling on the diced garlic and the dried red pepper. Your request for a classification ruling should include a complete description of the manufacturing process for both products.

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 regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Stanley Hopard at 212-466-5760.

Sincerely,
