In your letter dated July 8, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for 1,8 dichloroanthraquinone
(CAS# 82-43-9) will be 2914.70.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTS), which provides for other aromatic
halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of
ketones and quinones. The rate of duty will be 11 percent ad
valorem.
Products classifiable under 2914.70.2000 which are actually
used to make photographic color couplers are temporarily free of
duty upon compliance with applicable Customs 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
