In your letter dated November 28, 1994 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for (s)-3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol
will be 2905.50.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other halogenated, sulfonated,
nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of acyclic alcohols. The rate
of duty will be 12.3 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
