RE: The tariff classification of glutathione tablets from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated June 17, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for glutathione tablets (CAS# 70-
18-9) will be 2930.90.4550, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for other organo-sulfur
compounds: other acids. The rate of duty will be 4.2 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
