RE: The tariff classification of D-glucosamine HCL from Japan.
Dear Mr. Corboy:
In your letter dated December 19, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The applicable subheading for D-glucosamine HCL (CAS# 66-84-
2) will be 2932.90.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other heterocyclic compounds
with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only. The rate of duty will be 3.7
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
