RE: The tariff classification of Anti-UVD from France.
Dear Mr. Meola:
In your letter dated March 8, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Anti-UVD is a chemical mixture containing 2,4 dihydroxy
benzophenone and ortho dichlorobenzene. The product is used as
an additive to plastics or resins. The product serves as an
ultra violet light absorber.
The applicable HTS subheading for Anti-UVD will be
3812.30.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for prepared rubber accelerators; compound
plasticizers for rubber or plastics, not elsewhere specified or
included; antioxidizing preparations and other compound
stabilizers for rubber or plastics. The duty rate will be 3.7
cents per kilo plus 13.6 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
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
