RE: The tariff classification of Hershey's Kisses extra creamy
milk chocolate candy from Canada.
Dear Ms. O'Donnell:
This is a supplement to Ruling No. NY 809919 dated May 16,
1995. The ruling issued to you described the subject merchandise
as Hershey's Kisses extra creamy chocolate candies, individually
wrapped and in a retail package, ready for consumption, based on
the submitted sample. The product was classified under
subheading 1806.90.9000, HTS, which provides for chocolate and
other food preparations containing cocoa: other...other...other
...other...other. Your letter dated May 26, 1995 asks whether
the tariff classification would remain the same for the product
if imported in 50 pound bulk containers, when each piece of candy
in the containers is individually wrapped or, alternatively, each
piece of candy is not wrapped. The candy will be imported in
pieces in the containers and not in retail packaging. The
Hershey's Kisses extra creamy chocolate candies imported in 50
pound bulk containers, as described above, are also classified
under subheading 1806.90.9000, HTS.
This supplement should be included whenever Ruling No. NY
809919 is presented.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
