RE: The tariff classification of O-nitrobenzaldehde
dimethylacetal from Germany.
Dear Mr. Rodriguez:
In your letter dated September 17, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client Pfizer
Pharmaceuticals .
The applicable subheading for O-nitrobenzaldehyde
dimethylacetal, will be 2911.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for acetals. The rate
of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
Chemicals which are classifiable in subheading 2911.00.0000,
HTS, when imported to be used in the manufacture of photografic
color couplers, are temporarily free of duty under 9902.29.01,
HTS, provided all appropiate requirements have been complied
with.
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
