RE: The tariff classification of Skin Care Products from Austria
Dear Mr. Rauch:
In your letter dated March 30, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Bio-Wash-Cleanser is a soft cream cleanser used for removing
eye make-up. Bio-Cream Scrub is a skin firming mask which
soothes pores and wrinkles. Bio-Cream Cleanser, containing horse
chestnut and avocado oil, is an extremely mild skin cleanser.
Bio-Toner, containing extracts of mallow, horse chestnut and St.
John's wort, is a lotion recommended for skin irritations. Bio-
Emulsion Cleanser is a cleansing emulsion for delicate and
sensitive skin. All of the above products are packaged in retail
containers.
The applicable subheading for the above products will be
3304.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other preparations for the care of the
skin. The rate of duty will be 3.9 percent ad valorem.
These products may be subject to the regulations of the Food
and Drug Administration. You may contact them at 5600 Fishers
Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, telephone number (202) 443-3380.
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
