be 2927.00.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other diazo-, azo- or azoxy-compounds. 
The rate of duty will be 18.6 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
