RE: The tariff classification of 2-Chloro-4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,4- Triazine (CAS No. 3140-73-6) from England.

Dear Mr. Corboy:

In your letter dated August 8, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling for 2-Chloro-4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,4-Triazine which is a peptide coupling reagent.

The applicable subheading for will be 2933.69.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only; nucleic acids and their salts: compounds containing an unfused triazine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure: other. The rate of duty will be 3.5 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
