RE: The tariff classification of "Steflash 65g" paper from
France.
Dear Mr. McLaughlin:
In your letter dated May 8, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Samples and a technical data sheet were submitted and have
been analyzed by our laboratory. The lab reports that the
"Steflash 65g" samples are sheets of white paper weighing 66.2
gsm and composed of 100% chemical kraft bleached pulp fibers; the
paper is bleached uniformly throughout the mass and is coated
with kaolin (China clay) and titanium dioxide.
We understand from information you submitted that the paper
is principally used in packaging applications, and will be
imported in rolls of a width exceeding 15 cm.
The applicable subheading for the "Steflash 65g" paper will
be 4810.31.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other (than certain enumerated),
uniformly bleached kraft paper weighing 150 gsm or less, coated
on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay), other than that of
a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes. The
rate of duty will be free.
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
