RE: The tariff classification of bromophenol blue from Austria.
Dear Ms. Weldon :
In your letter dated August 2, 1990, written on behalf of
your client, Bio-Rad Laboratories, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for bromophenol blue (CAS# 115-39-
9) will be 2934.90.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic heterocyclic
compounds. The rate of duty will be 3.7 cents per kilogram plus
16.2 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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
