RE: The tariff classification of Piperazine Hexahydrate from
Sweden.
Dear Ms. White:
In your letter dated January 14, 1991 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The product is a heterocyclic compound with nitrogen hetero-
atoms
only, contained in a piperazine ring. It is used, primarily, as
a drug in the production of piperazine salts which are used as
antihelmintics for humans as well as for poultry, pigs, and other
farm animals.
The applicable subheading for the Piperazine Hexahydrate
will be 2933.59.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for heterocyclic compounds with
nitrogen hetero-atoms contained in a piperzine ring in the
structure of other, non-aromatic drugs. The rate of duty will be
3.7 percent ad valorem.
This merchandise may be subject to the regulations of the
Food and Drug Administration. You may contact them at 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, telephone number (202)
443-3380.
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
