Dear Mr. Shah:

In your letter dated June 20, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling for the following dyes:

Product Color Index Name

Reactive Navy Blue HFGR Reactive Blue 194

Reactive Blue HEGN Reactive Blue 198

Reactive Red F3BL Reactive Red 194

Reactive Red ME4BL Reactive Red 195

The applicable subheading for these five dyes will be 3204.16.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other reactive dyes: products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI. The rate of duty will be 15 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,
