RE: The tariff classification of an aromatic emulsifier from
Sweden
Dear Ms. Lind:
In your letter dated December 13, 1994 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The product, "Colco," is described as an aromatic emulsifier
in paste form. The stated composition is 60 percent water, 30
percent mono and diglycerides of fatty acids, 6 percent
polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, and 4 percent natural flavor.
Colco will be put up in 10-kilogram plastic pails or 50-kilogram
drums, and sold to bakeries, who use the product as an ingredient
in cake batter.
The applicable subheading for the aromatic emulsifier
"Colco," will be 2106.90.9999, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not
elsewhere specified or included...other...other...other. The
rate of duty will be 10 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
