RE: The tariff classification of 6-aminopenicillanic acid and 7-
amino-3- deacetoxycephalosporanic acid from Oman.
Dear Mr. Bristow:
In your letter dated June 17, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 6-aminopenicillanic acid (CAS#
551-16-6) and 7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (CAS#
70287-30-8) will be 2934.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other heterocyclic
compounds. The rate of duty will be 7.9 percent ad valorem.
Articles classifiable under subheading 2934.90.5000, HTS,
which are products of Oman, are entitled to duty free treatment
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance
with all applicable regulations.
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
