Dear Mr. Brady:
In your letter dated October 28, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling for the above products which are used as chemical intermediates.
The applicable subheading for 1-(2,2",4,4"-Tetrafluoro)-1,1',4',1"-Terphenyl-2'YL)-1H-1,2,4-Triazole; (1R,4R)-2-(4-Tolylsulfonyl)-5-Methyl-2,5-Diazobicyclo-2.2.1-Heptane; (6(S)-(1A,5A,6A)-7-(6-((2-Amino-1-Oxopropyl)Amino)-3-Amino)-3-Azabicyclo(3.1.0)-Hex-3-YL)-1-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-6-Fluoro-1,4-Dihydro-4-Oxo-1,8-Naphthyridine-3-Carboxylic Acid, Mesylate Salt; and (2S-Trans)-4-Hydroxy-1-((4-Methylphenyl)Sulfonyl)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol-4-Methylbenzenesulfonate, will be 2933.90.7900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only: products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI. The rate of duty will be 10 percent ad valorem. The rate of duty for 2000 will be 9.3 percent ad valorem.
