RE: The tariff classification of pancake mix from Canada.
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
In your letter dated April 4, 1995 on behalf of Robin Hood
Multifoods, Inc. 60 Columbia Way, Markham Ontario Canada, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
The product known as "Deluxe Pancake Mix" is a mixture of
wheat flour (55%), corn flour (20%), rice flour (2%), starch
(1.5%), sugar (8.2%), dextrose (3%), buttermilk powder (3%),
dried egg yolk (1.5%), the remaining (5.8%) consists of salt,
sodium bicarbonate, calcium phosphate monobasic, and coloring.
The consumer must add water, milk and/or eggs to the mix to make
a pancake batter. The pancake mix is put up for sale in bulk
packages to restaurants and bakeries.
The applicable subheading for the "Deluxe Pancake Mix" will
be 1901.20.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for food preparations of flour, meal,
starch or malt extract...mixes and doughs for the preparation of
bakers' wares heading 1905...other...other...other. The duty
rate will be 9.8 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,
