RE: The tariff classification of 2-methyl imidazole from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated January 18, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 2-methyl imidazole (CAS# 693-
98-1) will be 2933.29.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other heterocyclic
compounds containing an unfused imidazole ring in the structure.
The rate of duty will be 7.9 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
