Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated April 11, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for para hydroxy phenethyl alcohol
(CAS# 501-94-0) will be 2907.30.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for phenol-alcohols.
The rate of duty will be 7.2 percent ad valorem.
Duty on certain chemicals used to produce photographic
color couplers is temporarily suspended under HTS 9902.29.01

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
