RE: The tariff classification of antioxidants from the
Netherlands.
Dear Mr. Mr Oosterveld:
In your letter dated April 4, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for five antioxidants (preservatives) to
be used in food for human and animal consumption. These
products designated Antrancine 20 CHP, Antrancine 75 C,
Antrancine 210, Antrancine 220 and Antrancine 225 are mixtures
of antioxidants with a sequestering agent and a solvent.
The applicable subheading for these five antioxidants will
be 3823.90.2900, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for mixtures containing 5 percent or more
by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic
substances. The rate of duty will be 3.7 cents per kilogram plus
13.6 percent ad valorem.
These products 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
