The applicable subheading for isohexadecane, which is a
mixture of acyclic hydrocarbons having one component more than 50
percent of the total weight will be 2710.00.6000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous mineral, other

containing by weight 70 percent or more of petroleum oils or

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
