RE: The tariff classification of an orange julep drink from
Canada.
Dear Mr. Penfield:
In your letter dated February 23, 1995, on behalf of Gibeau
Orange Julep, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Samples were included with your request. The samples
consisted of two glass bottles each containing 300 milliliters of
the product. The subject merchandise is stated to contain 88.10
percent water, 5.35 percent orange juice concentrate, 6.15
percent sugar, .33 percent skim milk powder and .07 percent
pectin.
The applicable tariff provision for the orange julep drink
will be 2202.90.9090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States Annotated (HTSUSA), which provides for waters, including
mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or
other sweetening matter or flavored, and other nonalcoholic
beverages...other...other...other. The general rate of duty will
be 0.3 cents per liter.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 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
